アンコンパーグルプラトーでののおすすめグラベルライド

Several fantastic mountain bike loops crisscross the area. These are easily accessible from the trailhead.

This point is a pretty popular group ride destination in the area. You can ride the quiet country roads out to the Utah boarder. There only thing really telling you where you are is the spray painted wood sign. The final stretch of road before you get to the boarder isn't paved, but it's not gravel. Just a dilapidated road that has been left to the elements.

In 1904 the town of Nucla was founded. This small mining town is home to ~700 hardy people. You can see rolling farmlands and mountains off in the distance from this high-desert plateau.

The Hawkeye Trailhead is a parking lot without extra facilities (e.g. no toilet facilities at this trailhead). When you park here you start your mountain bike ride with the Hawkeye Trail which is an awesome uphill trail and also a great downhill with lost‘s of optional technical features.
