Some may say you're boring but I say you're peaceful. St. Rose Trail is the way to go if you're looking to get in a good cardio session without distractions. If I want to clear my head and go for a run, this is where I go. Almost always, it's never crowded. During the summer months, most people run or ride during the early morning or late afternoons.
I love that they finally built a traffic light at the Maryland & St Rose intersection! Finally! Because now we don't have to walk all the way to Seven Hills drive or worry about getting hit by on going traffic.
Funny thing about this trail, once in a while I'll run into a drunk/high homeless man that says the most random things! So funny! I haven't seen him lately, but when I did he was raving about 7 Eleven. haha.
The trail is smooth asphalt, just the way I like it. There are mile markers and sculptures of the local wildlife (turtle, hare, coyotes, roadrunner) coming from the M Resort end. Around the St. Rose Hospital area, there are more sculptures. There's also descriptions of the wildlife in the area and benches along the trail. I've seen a few coyotes but they never bothered us. I think they're more afraid of us humans than we are to them.
There was a great view of the mountains, but now that they're building houses to the south of the trail the mountain views will be no more.
There is a bridge on the Pecos end of the trail. I wish they would build a bridge on the west end of the trail. That would be nice.
*** TIP: Great parking spots at the Starbucks near Seven Hills & St Rose pkwy OR if you want to start at the M Resort end, there's a few parking stalls at the gas station.
