Santa Fe National Forest Service Road 70, also known as the American Creek Trail, offers a remote and scenic route through the Jemez Mountains in northern New Mexico. This unpaved forest road follows the path of Rio de las Vacas (or American Creek), winding through dense coniferous forests and open meadows. It provides access to established & dispersed camping, hiking, and wildlife viewing. This easy, graded dirt trail is doable in a passenger car, but has moderately challenging spur trails that may require a high-clearance, 4x4 vehicle. There is a large established campground at the beginning of the trail. This trail is shared with hikers and horseback riders.
