Santa Fe National Forest. Good trails, including some new construction, are available in the national forest land portions of this stretch. Elsewhere, roads provide usable travelways. The nicest part is the country east of Cuba, in the San Pedro Parks Wilderness. An isolated rolling section.
Water availability is a primary concern.
Mount Taylor Ranger District. More roads to reach the plateau around Mount Taylor. The location within national forest boundaries is currently under study. The best location would include the summit of Mount Taylor. Cuba to Pie Town.
