Hilso Mountain Bike Trailhead is located off NM-400 south of Fort Wingate. The Zuni Mountains Trail System has 26 miles of non-motorized single track trails here to enjoy. An interpretive kiosk at the trailhead provides information on the history of this area and a map of the trails. The trail system was made possible by the Zuni Mountain Trail Partnership. 

Take Exit 33 east of Gallup off I-40 and drive south through Fort Wingate, continuing 5 miles further on NM-400 to the trailhead and parking area on your right. 

Cibola National Forest covers more than 1.6 million acres and includes mountains, grasslands, wilderness, and forests. The name Cibola comes from the Zuni word for their tribal lands, which the Spanish later translated as "buffalo". The forest is home black bears, cougars, elk, and pronghorn. Cibola National Forest offers many recreational opportunities including hiking, camping, fishing, hunting, and skiing. It also has cultural and historical significance, as it contains ancient Native American sites and historic trails.

The National Forest has four ranger districts: Sandia, Mountainair, Magdalena, and Mount Taylor. In addition, the Cibola has four wilderness areas: Sandia Mountain, Manzano Mountain, Withington, and Apache Kid.
