Description

It's worth the climb! The Rim Vista Trail boasts some of the best views in the Abiquiu area. From the top of the mesa you can look down into the Chama River Canyon Wilderness area. There is a moderately steep climb of about 300' from the base of the mesa to the top. Ponderosa Pine and Pinyon-Pine types are dominant at the top of the mesa. Rim Vista trail meets up with the Salazar Trail at the top and is marked with rock cairns.

No motorized vehicles or equipment allowed on trail or wilderness area.
