The Knob - FS 19D

The Knob is a short spur off of Agua Piedra Trail that climbs up to a great overlook of the Sangre De Cristo Mountains, making a great lunch spot. The route is 1 mile each way and will be ridden as an out-and-back, making a short and worthwhile detour from your ride. It climbs up from a grassy saddle at the intersection with Agua Piedra Trail, and is steep and rocky right away. The trail is covered in a layer of small and big loose rocks that can ping you around. The steepest section is right away, and it gains over 300 feet in elevation throughout the 1-mile climb. It also goes through a faint grassy section midway up with fewer rocks. This trail is open to motorized use from 3/15 to 11/15.
