NORTHSIDE TRAIL the ups: I suppose this trail could be done in both directions, but you will want to do the ride in a counterclockwise direction. No sugarcoating the uphill challenges of this trail. You get a small taste of it right away and it doesn’t end until you are halfway through. It takes you up to the top of the Northside Mesa, gives you amazing views of Gallup back to the south and Gamerco off to the west. the downs: Remember those big climbs getting to the top? Well now you get to experience an incredible stretch of trail that will bring you back down to the start. This is a very diverse downhill with some long stretches of speed, vertical drop-offs, and sketchy rides over big boulders. You will find so many things you love about this trail that it will make you a better mountain biker because you just won’t want to stay off it.
