Overview

It may come as a surprise that one of the favorite hard-rated trails of the annual Chile Challenge runs parallel to and just yards from Interstate 25, but The Narrows is that trail. Fun and challenging, this trail lives up to its name for putting the squeeze on. The Narrows will test drivers with technical obstacles, but it also offers excellent desert scenery and beautiful views along the way. Located near the Caballo and Percha Dam State Parks, The Narrows is one of many trails in the Lost Hills of the Caballo Mountains. This area is home to the annual Chile Challenge offroad event, which has been running for over 30 years. These are some of the most famous trails in New Mexico, and they do not disappoint.
