Wheelin’ and Dealin’ Angel Fire Bike Park ‘Best in the Southwest!’

Skinnies, jump lines, manicured flow and super chuck trails, you’ll find a mountain bike adventure for every level of skill

– all at Angel Fire Bike Park – the largest bike park in the Rockies. Voted Best in the Southwest by MTBparks’ riders for almost a decade now (mtbparks. com/New-Mexico/245-AngelFire-Bike-Park/View-details. html)!

The chair lift offers 2,000+ feet of vertical descent, 60+ miles of single track and purpose-built trails — some featuring wooden ramps, manicured berms, dialed jump lines, and old-school rock gardens.

Bikers love the resort’s long-term commitment to building one of the best bike parks in North America. Staff are always improving easier runs and infusing the trail system with new flow features.

Angel Fire offers stunning views out over neighboring peaks, so even if you aren’t a biker, ride the chair up to the summit and then hike or ride back down. Gorgeous aspens lighting up Angel Fire spring thru fall are a breathtaking sight to behold. No wonder this is one of bikers-in-the-know favorite mountain bike destinations.

Just FYI to bike newbies, Angel Fire trails ride with very little pedaling as you flow downhill for the vast majority of the trails. When Angel Fire riders reach the bottom of a trail, the bike is placed back on the Chile Express chairlift and they ride the lift back up to the summit.

Running mid-May through late October, Angel Fire Bike Park has one of the longest and most stunning seasons in the West.
