Devisadero Peak Loop Trail

This is a trail for advanced riders who want to challenge themselves both climbing and descending. Park in the El Nogal Parking lot and cross Route 64 to access the trailhead. Devisadero is a lollypop shape loop and the top loop can be ridden in both directions for a different experience each way. 

Riders should expect tight, rocky sections and punchy climbs on the ascent, some flat rock gardens along the ridge, and difficult rock features on the descent. In other words, only ride this trail if you like rocks. Locals like to talk about the "keyhole," an oddly shaped rock feature where the rider has to thread their front tire carefully through two pointy rocks (the keyhole) to avoid burying the front wheel and going over the bars. If you ride the keyhole, you get automatic bragging rights in the Taos mountain bike community!
