Challenge Trail is a short but rewarding New Mexico hike that packs significant elevation gain into less than two miles, making it an excellent choice for hikers seeking an intense cardiovascular workout in a compact package. The trail's steep terrain and substantial vertical relief create a challenging ascent through typical high desert or piñon-juniper landscape. This is an ideal trail for building fitness or for those with limited time who want maximum elevation gain.
