- ATTENTION: FOREST CLOSURE DUE TO EXTREME FIRE CONDITIONS: On May 25, 2022, the Lincoln National Forest entered Stage 3 Fire Restrictions, closing the forest due to extreme fire danger. There is no public access allowed on any part of the forest. All trails, campgrounds, recreation sites, picnic sites and dispersed camping areas are closed until conditions improve or until July 30, which ever comes first.
Cloudcroft provides good options to ride if you are looking for a good mix of climbing challenges and fun descents. There are a few sections containing a lot of loose rocks but that seems to be the standard for trails in this area.
Trail was created for the High Altitude Bike Shop annual race. Trail is well maintained and best uses are mountain biking and hiking. The High Altitude Race Course contains fun single-track down hills, with some fun technical portions and steep climbs. This trails contains markers to help guide you through the trail.
Make sure you check out Bailey Canyon trail. It is one of my favorites in this area. This trail ascends through pine and aspen forest before opening up into a series of clearings or meadows. Because this trail is common for horseback riding, the trail is narrow and scooped for a large portion, especially entering the meadows.
My highly recommended restaurant seen in the video is Cloudcroft Brewing Company. Link: www.cloudcroftbrewing.com

This video was filmed days before the forest closure (25 May). The Lincoln National Forest is schedule to re-open 30 July 2022.
Is it closed because of the fires?
@@doodlebiker3800 yea but it opened back up a month earlier! Let’s go!
Hey David, I am glad that you found a nice place to bike! Lots of trees. I am sure that you miss them.
Thanks Dad! The desert riding is too hot for me.
Bro. Glad to see you finally make it up to Cloudcroft and hit up the Race Loop. It’s such a fun trail. Thanks for sharing brother
Hey man I found you when as I was looking for videos on Pikes Peak Plummet. A buddy and I are hitting that in a couple weeks. Anyway, I've enjoyed all your videos since! Great content and editing, good flow and music. I hope to get to NM in the near future as well!
Hey Tony! I appreciate your comment. Did you end up doing pikes peak? I’m stoked to hear you enjoy the vids.
@@DavePFilms nah unfortunately the weather didn't work out for that weekend so we went somewhere else. I'm hoping to hit it later in the summer or Fall. Yeah man, keep em coming!
Good one
I appreciate the support bro.
Cool video 🤩👍
Thank you!
Great video Dave, this place is very nice and perfect to spend some nice hours in the forest with your bike.
As always great shots and beautiful trails. Thanks for sharing and have a great Sunday mate. Ride on🤙
Thanks Ck. I appreciate your comments sir. It’s a nice break from the desert reading.
That's a blast of a ride !!! It was fun watching !! I could tell you were enjoying it all !!! Have lots of fun !!!
Trying to live the best life on my mtb!
Awesome video are you using an E-bike ?
Sometimes I wished it was an ebike. It’s an analog bike…no motor. It’s a Yeti Sb140. If they made an ebike with this frame and model, I would consider it.
You still need to try the down hill bike trail in Cedar Creek. It is my favorite trail so far.
I tried it before they closed the trails down due to the fire. Planning to go back soon! Nice bike park style trail! I loved the drops too.
Hey dude great video! I’m a local from Ruidoso, if you ever head up let me know and I’ll show you around!
Thanks! I sure will! I appreciate you. Have you done the rim trail yet?
@@DavePFilms parts of it but never the whole thing. We have some really fun trails in Ruidoso that absorb most of my time! I used it to do a really fun long decent from sunspot down to high rolls and then back up karr canyon
My wife and I recently started riding! We fell in love, it’s super wild you ran into Guido on the trail! We actually see him on the trails here in El Paso and my father in law knows him well!!! Actually bought a bike rack off of him. Super knowledgeable and nice guy!! Your videos are sick, keep’em up 🤘🏼
What a small world! Yea he is a great guy. People like him make the mountain bike community awesome. Thank you for your nice comments. Glad you enjoy them.
Also there are trails in a place called Ski Apache. I've never been but I've seen videos of it.
Ski Apache just opened back up. Only one trail open tho. It’s their blue trail. I’m waiting for the black diamonds.
That place looks awesome! High elevation and lots of trees in New Mexico is super nice
Yea I’m lucky to find a place like this in NM.
Beautiful are u still all about the 27.5? I ride 27.5 as well but have never experienced a 29er
I love my 27.5. It’s so nimble and easier to climb techy trails. But my 29ner rolls a lot faster.
Cool video! You definitely make it look easier than when I've done it.
I appreciate it bro. GoPro effect maybe lol
Sweet video man! Love seeing those big pine trees!
I appreciate it brother!
Nice showcase of the town and trails. Stoked to see you have some CO style trails out by you. I see you went wireless on the post and trans. Nice.
Yea I got lucky with the area. I went wireless before I moved to NM lol. I sold both wired to my riding buddy.
