Take a ride along the Rim Trail near Cloudcroft, NM, considered one of the top 10 trails in the nation. This trail is an old railroad grade, no converted to a nice, single track, multi-use trail. You will get some nice views along the way, including all the way down to White Sands. Most of the trail is heavily forested, however, and parallels the Sunspot Highway - so there are plenty of places to hop on or off, depending on when you want to turn back. The terrain is rough and rocky, with some long climbs and long descents which can be rough if you are not acclimated to the elevation.
