Trails

The Santa Fe Conservation Trust works with the City of Santa Fe, Santa Fe County, Santa Fe National Forest, The Nature Conservancy, Santa Fe Fat Tire Society, and other public and private partners to develop, maintain and promote our local trails.   The Santa Fe Conservation Trust preserves public trail access within many of our local conservation easements.and has been involved in this and other ways in the creation of the Dale Ball Trails, Atalaya Trail, Sun Mountain Trail, Santa Fe Rail Trail, the Spur Trail, La Tierra Trails, Arroyo Hondo Open Space Trails, La Piedra Trail, Little Tesuque Trail, and–with the Commonweal Conservancy–the Galisteo Basin Preserve Trails.  These local City and County trails can be viewed in the Santa-Fe-Foothill-Trails-Map-2024.

The Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) also puts out a Bikeways & Trails Map, which includes a complete view of trails within the City and surrounding areas:

The Santa Fe Conservation Trust currently maintains La Tierra Trails for the City of Santa Fe, Dale Ball Trails for the City and County of Santa Fe, and other City and County trails.  SFCT advocates for better walking and bicycling infrastructure in the City and County of Santa Fe and works with these and various other “GUSTO” partners to plan and promote natural-surface trail connections throughout the region.

The Grand Unified Santa Fe Trail Organization or “GUSTO” initiative is an effort to study and develop an integrated and unified trail system in and around the Santa Fe area.  GUSTO’s vision is a “grand unified trail system” that allows non-motorized users to travel in a loop around the greater Santa Fe area as well as between the urban center and the periphery. The GUSTO initiative leads community participation efforts to have a unified, sustainable trails system built around the entire metropolitan area.
