Trail Overview

More Cowbell is a 1.6-mile single track that connects the Coyote Trail to the Coyote Split Trail. This one is pretty flat with hardly any elevation gain, but it has lots of tight curves through the pinyon pine and juniper trees. It's pretty tight through the trees at times, so it has more shade which is nice in the hot months. It has a mix of smooth sections and rocky sections and a couple of easy rock slab obstacles. One of the obstacles is more of an intermediate difficulty because it has a bigger drop-off. Overall it's a short trail that is a similar difficulty to the two trails it connects. This one is near the staging areas off Chamiso Canyon Road, so it could have more traffic.

Access Description

The Manzanita Mountain Trail System is a very well-maintained multi-use area popular for hiking, horses, mountain biking, and dirt bikes. There are 40+ trails ranging from a mile to 5 miles long of varying difficulties between easy and advanced in a Chihuahuan desert terrain in the Cibola National Forest. There's enough trails for 2-3 days of riding, and is best in fall and spring when it's not too hot. Be aware of oncoming traffic since there are lots of tight turns and it can be busy. There are several staging areas from the north off of Chamiso Canyon Road, as well as the Tunnel and Pine Flat Trailheads along State Road 337, and from the south at the Oak Flat Trailhead.
