- Paco, Jordan, and I went to Cloudcroft, New Mexico to ride the northern segment of the Rim Trail (T105). Cloudcroft is 40 minutes away from Holloman Air Force Base and 30 minutes away from Alamogordo.
The Rim trail (T105) is located south of cloudcroft and extends down to the Sacramento Road. The trail is over 30 miles long, however, you can ride them in segments using one of the many access points.
We took High Altitude shuttle service which brought us to Parking lot 5 which is 12.5 miles away from Cloudcroft. Parking lot 5 gives you access to the northern segment of the Rim trail.
This single track will take you up to 9100 ft of elevation then back down to 8500 followed by a climb back up to almost 9000. This 12 mile trip accumulated about 1400 ft of climbing but also 2,000 ft of descent. This trails has bursts of fun downhills including a 2 mile long downhill section. Surprisingly we only encountered a few hikers and bikers throughout this segment of the trail.
Checkout High Altitude Store in Cloudcroft:
They have outdoor adventure gear and so much more. The store is packed with big brands, hand picked goodies, and as much local flavor as they can fit in their little space.

What a great video! Very well done! Keep the peddles moving!
Shalom
Beautiful video!!! I love the Sacramento Mountains.
Thank you! I agree!
Awesome, definitely on my bucketlist
It's so good! I’m sure you’ll rip through it!
Thanks for the ride !
Thank you!
also that reminded me of when I was biking in Colorado and moved a tree out of the trail👍
Colorado is known for knocked down trees on the trail. It’s so windy there. On top of that, winter storms will do more damage. I remembered the Colorado trail was closed because of all the knocked down trees after one storm.
You guys were hustling down the trail. Great riding. Your drone work is so on point. As always a great story told. Thanks for sharing the way you do. Stay safe.
The trail had so much flow, it was so easy to open up. What’s nice about flying here is the airspace is less restrictive since it’s far away from any major airport or base. I get way more opportunity to capture drone moments. Thanks for watching!
As always a fantastic video Dave, the shooting and editing are excellent mate. Great trail and nicely ridden. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work. Ride on and have a nice week🤙
Thank you brother! I appreciate the nice comment.
Sick video! It looks you were riding in such a cool places! Looking forward to more videos! And I have a warm place in my heart to Yeti bikes as well ;)
Awesome! Thank you! 🙏🏼 yea I’m blessed with good trails. I’m loving my Yeti. Do you ride one too?
@@DavePFilms Yeah , SB150! I love shredding with that beast 🤘
Well done video!❤
This was nice, I had Fun just watching !!
Thanks Bruce!
I need to hit this my bro!
Hell yea! That descent is epic. I’m sure you’ll rip through that!
Loved the video! Excited to see more dude!
Stoked you loved it! More coming! Thanks for checking it out.
Excellent work! Looks like a great place to visit and ride👍🏻
I appreciate it! I’m pretty fortunate to have a place like this 40 minutes away from where I live especially living down in southern New Mexico.
Hey man cool to see this great of footage on some local trails! I'm from Las Cruces, NM and we have some awesome trails in the Dona Ana Mountains.
I went there once and had a great time. I need to go back to Las Cruces!
I'm going to have to try this and the shuttle for sure. I never knew there was trails there in this part of NM. Thanks for sharing this great piece of work. I have the same Ripmo as your buddy too, mine has the carbon wheels. He would love it. How many miles was this ride?
Do you still ride around Alamogordo?? I just moved here and need to get out riding!
I do! I’ve been going to ruidoso now.
Hey Dave. What was your favorite trail to ride in this area?
Within the cloudcroft area, it would be the rim trail. However, it does take some logistical planning when it comes to shuttling. Unless you would ride up and back. Second would be Bailey Canyon. Very flowy trail.
what kind of drone do you use? Is it a DJI?
I used the Dji Mini and FPV. Majority of the time the Dji mini. You get more cinematic shots and way easier to carry around. Do you own a drone or interested in getting one?
@@DavePFilms My Dad owns a DJI Mavic Mini. But it's hard to find places where you can fly them.
hey i live here
Great place to live!
Your videos are great. Sad to see you leave Colorado Springs when you started getting real good but I guess it's good for you to explore new trails and not film the same ones.
He isn't filming any bike trails now...
@@RealMTBAddict I know man. I had checked his channel a month ago because I was wondering if I had missed anything but nope. Hopefully he's doing well.
He's back !
