The Land of Enchantment... it may be a tagline, but it's one that has held up strong through the years!
You could spend years uncovering all of the wonders of New Mexico, but for those with a limited amount of time there is no better area to head for than Taos & Angel Fire. Between the stark, barren beauty and magical light of the high desert, aspen-filled forests, snow-capped peaks, steaming hot springs, life-giving rivers and miles upon miles of wilderness trails weaving throughout it all, this area has something for every outdoor enthusiast - especially adventurous runners! Often overshadowed by the popular Colorado mountain towns to the north, visitors quickly find solitude, awe and a sense of having discovered something very, very special. Enchantment, indeed.
The routes outlined here range from low-key and quite runnable (even given the altitude!) to some truly spectacular mountain trails that will likely involve just as much hiking as running, which is for the best; this is not a place that should be rushed! This guide will help you pack smartly, navigate easily and enjoy a wide range of the very best that this area has to offer.
Note: These Rogue OYO routes are best between June and October; any earlier or later will render most of these routes inaccessible due to snow.

WHAT DOES IT COST?
$45 gets you a personalized access code to our routes and guide via the Ride With GPS app and puts everything you need (and nothing you don’t) right in the palm of your hand. If you want to ensure that everyone in your crew has the ability to navigate out on the trail (great insurance for a low battery or different run paces), additional devices can be added for $20 each. Codes will remain valid for 1 year from the time of purchase.
Note: These Rogue OYO routes are generally best between June and October; outside of that window, certain trails are likely to be snowy, icy or otherwise inaccessible.
