August 24-Red Canyon Ride- Be in the saddle at 10 to ride. Click here for map
Directions:South on NM 337 from I40 to NM 55 where you will take a right to continue toward the town of Manzano.
About 1000 feet past the general store in Manzano, take a soft right onto NM 131.
After two miles, turn right onto County Road B062. Do not go straight into Manzano State Park.
In another half-mile, you'll enter the Cibola National Forest, upon which the road will turn into Forest Road 253.
Continue past the turn off to the Red Canyon Campground staying on Forest Road 422.
2 miles or so down the road, a sign will mark the location of the trailhead on the right.
Note: Red Canyon Campground is around 1 hour (46.8 miles) from the Tijeras turnoff at 337.
We’ll not be going all the way to the Crest Trail, as there is a ledge of rock that is difficult for most horseback trail riders. We’ll go up, back, have lunch along the route back, and then can go on Box Trail to Red Canyon Parking area, backtrack on Box Trail back to the trailhead.
VS Note: This is a Club sponsored event with no outside riders expected. RGMDA believes that it's members are educated about the VS outbreak & know to check their own animals before joining an event.
