Caja ConquestDirt route from Camino De Rey Cir to Co Rd 56, Santa Fe, Santa Fe County, New Mexico "This route follows FR 24 and CR 26C, which are mostly "occasionally maintained" packed dirt, although they transition to gravel at the start and finish. It is rideable on a gravel bike, but there may be short rocky inclines and/or sand/silt pits that may require short hike-a-bike. Consider short side-trips to La Bajada Hill and La Bajada Mesa for scenic views. It is possible to return to the start on low-traffic asphalt, including a brief foray through the ( usually dry ) sandy bed of the Santa Fe River on Paseo de River ( no joke ), and a paved bike path along Caja del Rio Road." 1 |

NW Caja MeanderDirt route on Avenida De Mercedes, Santa Fe, Santa Fe County, New Mexico ""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." |
