New Mexico

Location Name: Rio Puerco

Type of Riding Place: Trails

Location (closest city): Rio Rancho, NM USA

Details: This area is sandy to hard pack and offers many miles of riding. People have gotten lost out there with the endless trails. A GPS can be utilized if you plan to do some exploring, Mt.Taylor looks close but it's about 70 miles away. I highly recommend not to ride alone on these trails and bring drinking water. This area is rough and not always user friendly being a high desert at 5000 ft... Middle of the summer is too hot to ride but can be done if you ride early in the morning. Night riding wouldn't be advisable, Cliffs and stuff. Open all year round and there are no restrictions. No services, no patrols, just open country.

How to get there: Rio Rancho is north west of Albquerque, off of hwy 25 to Alameda or Hwy 528 same thing, into Rio Rancho, when going north on 528 take a left on Southern Blvd. and drive till it ends and your there.

Location Name: Nine Mile HIll

Type of Riding Place: Dunes

Location (closest city): Albuquerque, NM USA

Details: This place is basically used for just sand dragging. There are a few trails around about two mile square but the sand dragging is what it's about. There are a couple of fast machines, 1000 cc and a banshee with 570cc LRD engine that show up sometimes on Sundays. The dragging is up a small sand hill about 50 yards, paddles tires are not necessary but may help. At this place there are no rules, just pull up to the bottom of the hill and some one will pull up to race ya. Saturday with Sundays having a bigger group on any weekend. I have seen all kinds of 4x4's, dune buggies, bikes and ATV's all racing together.
This place needs to be cleaned up but still a fun place to see how fast your machine is compared to the other local stuff.

How to get there: Just west of Albuquerque off of interstate 40. Take exit 98 and head south to Central Ave, then turn west. The entrance is not marked, just take one of the dirt roads at the large power poles, you can see the big sand hill from a mile away. To watch the action from interstate 40 just use the pull off for the scenic view area, this does not have access to the riding area.

Location (closest city): Farmington, NM USA

Details: Dunes to hard sandstone, large hills with a 33 mile loop called "Oh My God". This race is held once a year, for 3 laps. Yes 100 miles. Great riding for any ORV. This place has been used for off-road for 30 years and I have never seen more than 20 machine there unless it's race day, for the 8 years I've gone. Lots of room but no services.

How to get there: Farmington is in the northwest corner of the state, from HWY 64 in town you will cross HWY 371,[locally called Bisti highway] go south following the signs to Crownpoint and Thoreau. The Off Road Park is only one mile out of town off of hwy 371, there is a Off Road Park sign on the right hand side going south. The small paved exit lane for the park and can be hard to see. If you miss the entrance you will see all of the trails off to your right as the road climbs up a large plateau. There is a nice view at the top well worth the trip. The dirt road going into the park can be rough after a rain so park as soon as you drive in and check the road condition with the ATV.

If the rider is read hard core they can travel by using these roads and trails and cover most of three dirfferent counties here in southeastern Okla. The main thing to remember is that, the land is open for use and it has to be used responably, ie. no arrson, no trash, no distruction of the property, and if any of thse are seen please report it. If we don't take care of our riding area, we could lose it. Camping is really just anywhere you want, just find a good place. For the ATV Rider/Hunter this area is also open to legal hunting. Riding is available year round , but if the rider is into seeing the trees changing colors, the fall is the best time to ride in Southeast Oklahoma . But if the riders are going to camp, Please watch your camp fires. Again Weyerhauser Company is good enought to let people ride on their property, so we can be good enough to take care of it.

How to get there: Hwy 259 north of Broken Bow, Just about any where North of Broken Bow, ok. There are major logging roads which have road numbers posted , once you turn off the Highway east or west , Just find a place to unload and ride. Maps can be obtained at the Local Weyerhauser Office approx. 6 miles North of Broken Bow. If you don't know the riding area , it is real easy to get lost, this is a big area to ride.

There is a place for you - a place where the spirit of the frontier still cries out, a place where the meek need not venture. Most importantly, this is a place where there is talk of fast-paced, wide open, heart trobbing, banshee screaming sand duning. Could this be a place for you? It could be just the place for you. It certainly deserves a look-see if you enjoy off-roading via sand, and who doesn't? The place in question is known as Little Sahara State Park. It is located 3 miles south of Waynoka in northwest Oklahoma.
