Kiwanis Meadow Road is an easy, short hike in the Sandia Ranger District of Cibola National Forest in New Mexico, about 1.1 miles long with an elevation gain of about 80 feet. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is natural-surfaced, so it works for hikers, riders and horseback travelers. It is not an accessible trail. The route is an out-and-back, starting and ending at roughly the same point. The low point is about 10,477 feet, and the high point is about 10,575 feet. Bikes and horses are both allowed. Several other trails sit right beside it. Switchback and the Crest House Spur Trail are both about 0.1 mile away, and the Buried Cable Trail is a cross-country ski route at the same distance. Climbers can find My Secret Garden about 0.3 mile off.
