The North Boundary #1 #2 trail is the northernmost trail in the La Tierra trail network and most consider it to be one of the best, if not the best, XC trail in the area. From this popular section of trail you get fantastic views and great riding over swoopy, burmed switchbacks. Headed west from #1 it is mostly downhill, but headed east from #2-#1, you'll encounter some of the toughest climbing in the system.

The Winsor National Recreation Trail offers 23 miles (37.5 km) of thrilling singletrack through the Santa Fe National Forest and is popular with both mountain bikers and hikers. This section follows Tesuque Creek, with multiple crossings that might get your tires wet, but are not too, too deep. As you ride a ridge through dense ponderosa pines, you get the occasional catching glimpses of pretty views to the south. Be prepared to encounter a fair amount of hikers on nice days, so please be courteous and share the trail.

The Borrego Trail is a nice way to connect the Winsor Trail to Hwy 475 and the Bear Wallow Trail. From the Windsor Trail, cross the creek on a bridge and continue upstream, beginning a long, challenging climb through a few switchbacks. After the switchbacks, you need to navigate some roots to reach the high point, but it's fairly straightforward for the intermediate rider. At the high point, a fast descent takes you to a valley with a junction on the right leading to Bear Wallow Trail 182, or you can head up a gradual climb to Hwy 475, providing an escape or access option.
