Bike The Rail Trail to Lamy | Privately Guided
The Rail Trail Bike Ride is perfect for beginners, visitors acclimating to Santa Fe’s altitude, and families with younger children. Starting just south of Santa Fe, this bike trail follows the historic rail spur to the town of Lamy, an 18-mile spur that opened in February 1880 and connected Santa Fe to the AT&SF’s (now Amtrak) Chicago to Los Angeles cross country route. The Rail Trail offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains – the Sangre de Cristo, the Sandias, and the Jemez Mountains. We love this trail year-round; however, it is particularly lovely in the Fall when the asters and sunflowers are in bloom.
