The Dragon’s Back Trail was shaped by nature itself — it forms from the erosion of a gypsum-rich mesa within the Tierra Amarilla Anticline, a massive fold in the Earth’s crust. Over time, the soft white gypsum (created from the evaporation of an ancient inland sea) eroded into the narrow, winding ridges that resemble a dragon’s back. 🐉

With gradual climbs, rolling descents, and stunning desert geology, this trail is a favorite for hikers and mountain bikers alike. From rugged formations to wide-open skies, it’s an unforgettable journey into the heart of New Mexico’s natural beauty.

👉 Stay to the end as Tucker and I take on a steep uphill climb — and make a navigation mistake that completely changes how we reach the top!
