Devisadero Loop Trail 108 Trailhead - Hiking area in Taos - Carson National Forest, USA

This is popular 5.6 mile loop trail with about 1,300 feet of elevation gain to the peak -- you will encounter many hikers with dogs off leash, all well behaved in our experience. Wide, easy to follow trail which is rocky in places. Numerous switchbacks. High desert environment -- carry water. Ample parking at the trailhead (also for the Southern Boundary tail). Excellent vistas of Taos most of the time.

Just about the best hike I ever had. May be a little more intimidating than you expected, but it makes sense once you get to the top. Well worth persisting, with many small payoffs in the form of fascinating geology and breathtaking views along the way. A treasured memory.

What a great loop. Had a lot of fun here, beautiful views and it wasn't too busy for a Thursday. Definitely a nice hike if you want to get a bit of a workout in too!

Really nice hike though a bit of work going up the right side. We left at about 10 am on a Monday and the parking lot was about half full. The trail was not too crowded—we passed about five groups over the distance. Nice view from the top. The right side is pretty open so make sure you are good with sunscreen and water

Wonderful place. The trail is 5.7 miles. It took a little less than 2 hrs to reach the top and another 1 hr to go down. Rain made the whole journey more enjoyable. Love New Mexico ❤

There were some tough spots. We only went about 0.75 miles in before hitting this beautiful overlook. Please be sure to bring water and wear appropriate hiking shoes.

Great and convenient parking area. A challenging hike or trail run, to be sure, with lots of uphill, but not with relentless uphill, giving you the occasional break on the way up or down. Terrific views of neighboring mountains and into Taos itself.

Fantastic, gorgeous hike. Approximately 6 mile loop with about 1500' total elevation change. Parking and bathroom available.
