Las Cruces Dirt - Sierra Vista

Sierra Vista is all cruiser singletrack. 14 mile RT out and back with a quarter-mile section of thorns (yes, more bloody legs). On this ride you need to stay RIGHT ON the trail or be prepared to fix a lot of flats. To get there - keep heading east on the same road you took to A Mountain and take the next paved road right (not the one into the subdivision - the next one). Soon you will see a fire station and the road will swing east....keep going. You will start to climb up towards the Organs and you'll see a pull out trailhead on your right (marked with a BLM sign). Start here and head toward Mexico. The trail rolls in and out of several arroyos and will cross a few 4WD roads and finally end in a gravel parking area. Look for the brown carsonite makers along the way. Mostly pretty smooth with a couple of ridable sandy stretches.

lots of cacti lurking in the grass
