The Big Arsenic Springs Trail is a popular out-and-back trail located in the Wild Rivers Recreation Area of the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument. This trail starts at the rim of the mesa above the river, and drops quickly, descending about 600 feet down rocky, steep switchbacks to the Rio Grande. This 1.5 mile trail offers truly stunning views down the gorge as you hike. As you draw closer to the end of the trail keep an eye out for some ancient petroglyphs carved on the rocks above you. You can also link this trail with the River Trail if you wish to extend your hike.

Red River, New Mexico, was originally a bustling mining town in the late 19th century that attracted prospectors seeking gold, silver, and copper. However, as mining declined, the town reinvented itself in the 1920s as a tourist destination, preserving its historic charm. Today, Main Street is surrounded by the Carson National Forest, which provides mountain biking and hiking in summer and skiing, snowboarding, and tubing in winter at the Red River Ski Area. The Red River is also known for great trout fishing. The town also hosts annual events like the Red River Folk Festival and the Fourth of July Parade, which are beloved traditions by locals and visitors alike.

The Slide Trail is a popular trail in the Taos Overlook area of the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument. This trail traverses on a plateau high above the Rio Grande, offering hikers stunning views down steep cliffs over the water. Although this trail is generally pretty flat, there are a few rolling hills, some loose rocks, and there can be steep drop offs to the river below so use caution when hiking. There is also little to no shade along this trail, so be sure to bring plenty of water and sun protection!
