Getting its name from the Tewa word for “wild chokecherry place,” Abiquiú is a historic village along the Rio Chama where striking red rock cliffs and mesas frame the high desert landscape. The town is best known as the home of Georgia O’Keeffe, who called the area home and featured the dramatic landscapes prominently in her art. Abiquiú also offers outdoor adventure at Abiquiú Lake and cultural exploration at the 18th-century Santo Tomás Church and nearby ancestral Pueblo sites. Today it serves not only as a creative and scenic hub, but also as a practical resupply stop for riders on the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route as they pass through northern New Mexico.

Small purblo settlement in the Chama valley with a store for essential resupply. Bodes also has hardware and curios.

Fenton Lake State Park is 37 acres in size and a great spot for running, camping, and fishing. This area features the Rio Cebolla, wooded areas, the Hal Baxter Memorial Trail, and Fenton Lake. If this area looks familiar, it might be because it was a 1976 movie, The Man Who Fell to Earth.

Hot or warm springs near Jemez Falls. There are several here with the top being the largest and warmest pool. As you go down they get smaller but also more natural and deeper. Definitely recommend, especially during the week when you can swim here for hours without meeting another person.

Ashley Pond Park, situated within the Manhattan Project National Historic Park, holds significant historical value in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Named after the founder of the Los Alamos Ranch School, Ashley Pond, the park was a focal point during the Manhattan Project (1943-1947). It housed military facilities and played a crucial role in scientific research. Today, the park is a peaceful space with picturesque views of the surrounding landscape, and features memorials and interpretive signs commemorating the Manhattan Project's scientific and historical contributions. There is also the Ice House, which stands as a memorial to the Los Alamos Ranch School days and Project Y, on the southern bank of the pond.

Beyond this is the more technical Los Alamos Canyon Trail, which as of 2023 is only open in the winter due to wildfire damage. Construction resumes in this area in the spring of 2024 so hopefully the trail will be useable soon.

The Los Alamos Reservoir Road is an easy open trail to the Los Alamos Reservoir. It connects with other popular hiking and biking trails in the area.

Construction to preserve the trail and surrounding area is set to resume in the spring of 2024 so hopefully you will be about to hike here year round soon.
