ATV Pass

Despite its name, ATV Pass is wide enough for 4WD vehicles. This is a hilly trail with spectacular 360-degree views along the ridge lines of the Cerrillos del Coyote (Small Hills of the Coyote). Upon reaching the top of The "Pass" at Waypoint 2, there is an expansive view to the north, across the Arroyo de la Parida and Ojo de la Parida. ATV Pass is a fun trail to drive, with its steep, rocky grades, off camber turns, and countless ravine crossings, it will definitely keep your interest. The area around this trail, known as the Quebradas (the Breaks), is frequented by many types of outdoor enthusiasts including XC bike racers, hikers, and off-roaders, to name a few. The Quebradas is located between two major protected wildlife areas, the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge to the north and Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge to the south. One can easily plan a full day or multiple days of wheeling in this area, which is part of the 6,000-acre Gordy’s Hill Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) Area.
