Lady Slipper Trail is a 2.3 mile lightly trafficked out and back trail located near Angel Fire, New Mexico that features a great forest setting and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking and running. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
October 23, 2020October 9, 2020No parking near the trail so have to walk about half mile to the trailhead if you park at the lake. Otherwise trail is pretty easy and well-marked. Very pretty when the aspen trees change colors!
September 29, 2020September 27, 2020Lovely fall foliage & moderate uphill climbs. We split off & went up towards FM 76. Was beautiful!
September 26, 2020Rode Coyote then Lake trail then hit Lady Slipper. Crossed onto USFS and ended with a jaunt up to Overlook. Wicked day! One of my favorites.
September 22, 2020September 17, 2020September 17, 2020nice morning hike. not too difficult
September 3, 2020Wonderful and easy hike
August 30, 2020Great everyday trail if you enjoy a good walk. Not much as for views, but you’re in the forest and surrounded by nature. We’ve seen deer, chipmunks, squirrels, Stellar Jay’s, Woodpeckers and garden snakes. Close to 2.5 miles with a steady to steep incline going up the lower loop to get your heart pumping, but the reminder of the trail is fairly even. Heavily wooded about 1/4 mile in providing lots of shade. A simple trail. Has something for everyone!
August 18, 2020Very nice easy hike in the trees. We parked by the damn and walked to the trailhead. No real parking at trailhead.
July 21, 2020Not a lot of incline and mostly shady
July 12, 2020Very easy trail for the entire family. Even though there is a moderate climb, at the top, there are not overlooking views of the area below.
July 11, 2020Pretty easy trail...great for kids and dogs.
June 20, 2020Absolutely lovely trail! Easy.
June 18, 2020Great for just taking a walk. Not necessarily a "hike". The "overlook" is a flat grassy area that's surrounded by trees and barbed wire. Don't get too excited about it when you see the signs LOL
June 16, 2020great trail to walk the dogs! good sightings of mule deer and elk as well :)
June 15, 2020My friend is recovering from an injury and I found this trail that was perfect for him: Easy and beautiful. A hidden treasure to be sure!
June 11, 2020One of the cleanest trails, well marked and taken care of easy for kids. Would make great trail to run
June 11, 2020Very well maintained and convenient trail. Nice spot for a quick family hike in Angel Fire!
October 18, 2019Very easy trail. Especially good for kids. Our 4 year old did it with no problem. Some houses throughout but we only saw one other family on the trail.
October 5, 2019Nice stroll through the woods. Lots of houses around the trail so it’s not entirely solitude. The kids (4&9) did really well on it with little complaint. Overall great easy little trail.
July 30, 2019Nice little pretty well-travelled trail with only a few minor Ups and Downs. We were able to get several kids age 3-5 around the loop without too much trouble. Pretty forest setting, with a little bit of a view briefly into the valley to the south, we stopped to snack and enjoy it with the kids. A good warm-up trail to get everyone used to the altitude. We also parked down at the Lake’s main parking lot and walked along the lake trail to extend our walk a bit, though there is parking available at the trailhead.
July 19, 2019Petite randonnée sympa, très accessible. Nous avons adoré les coins de verdure foisonnant. La petite boucle pour voir le Big Tree vaut aussi le détour, un petit ruisseau coule juste à ses côtés et rend l'endroit simplement féerique. J'y retournerais sans hésiter, mais pour m'entrainer à courir en forêt car il n'y a pas beaucoup de dénivelé.
July 4, 2019Beautiful ❤️
June 10, 2019Today was my second time hiking this trail. It’s in good condition with the exception of a few downed trees. It’s easy to go around them. I like to park at Monte Verde Lake and walk along the trail that runs beside it to lengthen my round trip by a about mile. The trail is rated Easy, but there are a couple of short ascents along the way.
June 5, 2019beautiful place to walk. seen elk and deer everywhere!
May 29, 2019Very easy, leisurely walk/hike. Part.of the trail, as marked on this app, are on private property and it is marked no trespassing. It was still a great hike overall. My 14-5 year olds had a blast. Many downed trees that had yet to be cleared.
