Farmington anchors the Four Corners' high-desert riding in northwest New Mexico. The Glade Run Recreation Area, the Road Apple Rally trails, and Lions Wilderness wind through pinon, juniper, and slickrock that drain fast, so the dirt rides well most of the year. The Road Apple Rally is one of the oldest mountain bike races in the country, and the dense network of fast, flowy singletrack rewards a long season either side of summer.
