Bike the Redondo Foothills Loop

The Redondo Foothills Loop is a moderately strenuous, 9.5-mile bike route beginning in the Cabin District. This ride features flowy descents, 771 feet of climbing, and great views of Valle Grande. Starting at the Volcano Discovery Center, head south on El Cajete Trail. The first 1.5 miles are on a packed gravel road. Turn right at the Redondo Foothills Trail for a steep but graded climb. Once at the top, the trail turns into singletrack with great views of Valle Grande and its elk herds. Riders will be rewarded with a nice flowy descent to the backcountry road. From there, turn right to go back to the Volcano Discovery Center. The entire route is about 9.5 miles with 771 feet of climbing. You should be using a hardtail or full-suspension mountain bike.
