"Greatest hits" of scenic views along the NW escarpment of the Caja del Rio Plateau. Gravel/dirt "occasionally maintained" FR 24 leads to unmaintained dirt double-track. Expect loose rocky sections, especially north of Montoso Peak and on the spurs to the canyon rim. Some may require a short hike-a-bike. Also some loose sandy off-camber embankments, but you can ride the crest of most of them. Rideable on a gravel bike with decent skills and a willingness to get a bit beat up. Don't even try on a road bike. But the views are worth it.
