- bkpearyAustin, TX22 contributionsGreat trails. All reviews say "Well marked" but we could not figure out the guide signs or the trail markers. Thank goodness for All Trails or we would have been the next people featured on "I Survived"..We did about 5 milesWritten July 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lantz7Plano, TX24 contributionsThis is a good trail but it was very hot the day I went. Great views and easy walking trail. I recommend going when it is morning before the heat.Written August 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ann SNashville, TN54 contributionsWe hiked four miles of this trail today. Road access was no problem. They are still resurfacing but today only one lane was closed for a short piece of the drive. Aspens are past their peak but there were still swathes of them in peak color and it was beautiful.
Very nice moderate hike if you’re just getting used to the altitude.Written October 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We were not disappointed. We didn't hike the trail at all, but this stop for the sculpture was definitely worth it.Written October 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- montanapescadoAlbuquerque, NM1,474 contributionsThe bike legal portion of the Windsor Trail drops over 3,000 vertical feet in 9 miles. It is both beautiful and varied along the way, passing through multiple climate zones. There is a city bus with a bike rack so you can catch a ride up. Beware though, it's not all downhill and some climbing will be required late in the ride to get you back to your starting point.Written July 16, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AlibalimomSan Diego, CA4 contributionsWe arrived just before sunset and rushed to the peak. It was stunning! It started to get dark as we headed out, but it was fine.Written July 9, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- mischris9Richmond, VA4 contributionsWent with my husband mid afternoon on a picture-perfect day Sep 1. It was a gradual incline up to the sign where the 3 trails meet, which is as far as we went. Much of the trail was narrow with a steep drop along some paces. (Be careful with little ones although I personally wouldn’t recommend this hike for under the age of 8). The going was peaceful. We met only a few other hikers +/- dogs.Written September 2, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Anne OKennesaw, GA3,819 contributionsLa Tierra Trails are a short drive from central Santa Fe. We took one of the easier hike s and enjoyed views of the mountains along the way. Although the trails are dog friendly, ours dove for every bit of shade they could find on the sunny August day. Bring plenty of water (for dogs and humans!), sunscreen and protective clothing if needed. We had a trail guide but found it a bit confusing once we got there, so take good notice of how your planned route corresponds to the signage.Written September 21, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- 994arielletMaputo, Mozambique263 contributionsMountain biking rentals are closed on Sundays, so we took our road bike out this trail to explore without having to deal with too much traffic. It follows the arroyo all the way out to a shopping mall outside town. It goes through several neighborhoods and parks. The trail is in good condition, and it was an interesting way to see the area. It wasn't exceptionally scenic, but it was a nice way to get some exercise and explore. It's definitely family friendly, though you'll have to cross a few roads if you do the whole ride.Written April 27, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- MikeB1952Santa Fe, NM1,182 contributionsWell, just south of Glorieta NM is an ad hoc parking lot that we had seen a number of times driving by on I-25 going to Santa Fe. Based on the cars and parking lot, we thought it was a hiking trail. It is. Today, we had the opportunity to hike the trail.
First the area: it's in a canyon with an intermittent stream at its base. The sides got up rapidly with a beautiful mixed forest. The trail is an up and back trail about 1 1/2 miles long. It is quite gentle with a few ups and downs that are a bit challenging. Toward the end is a tight squeeze necessitating scrambling over some logs to go forward. An amazing hike. We took it in the Fall. But on a hot summer day, it would be quite nice since it's mostly shaded by the large trees nearby.
The only caution is that the trail is indistinct in places. We got a bit lost coming back down. But since it's a canyon, it is hard to get lost.
We plan to try it again in a different season to see how it is then.Written November 4, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
