Alright, we are talking about off road trails near Albuquerque, New Mexico.  Last Warning, the off road trails mentioned are Jeep trails and 4x4 trails large/wide enough to fit a passenger vehicle - no ATVs or dirtbikes talked about here.  The first off road trail near Albuquerque, NM is Tank Trap located 20 miles NE of Albuquerque for a drivetime of approximately twenty eight minutes. Tank Trap is described as a nice trail from Albuquerque to White Rock, NM. There are lots of rocks and it can be a bit of a challenge. It is doable in a rig without lockers, however lockers are preferable. It's recommended that you go in a group, and be sure to bring recovery gear. A lift is mandatory. You can see what other wheelers are saying about Tank Trap and other trails by visiting the Where2Wheel trails map here.

The next offroad trail near Albuquerque, NM is Cedro Peak located 22 miles E of Albuquerque for a drivetime of approximately thirty minutes. This is a nice short trail that begins where the road is not very maintained as the trail can be pretty rocky at points. There are several alternate routes that will all end up near the same place. For the most part this is a stock friendly trail with some side obstacles. I would recommend stopping at the Ranger Station on NM 337 and pick up a Motor Vehicle Use Map. This will help keep you on the right trails. Also, watch for Bikes, Quads, and Motorcycles. Tips: Remember, it is your responsibility to be aware of motor vehicle use changes in all National Forests. Check with the Forest Service for the latest MVUM (Motor Vehicle Usage Map) prior to your trip.
