Meadow Singletrack is an easy hike of about 3.5 miles on an out-and-back route in the Sandia Ranger District of Cibola National Forest in New Mexico. The trail runs from a low point of about 7,300 feet to a high of roughly 7,700 feet, with a one-way elevation gain of about 390 feet. The Forest Service manages the surrounding land. The most comfortable stretch for a visit is late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Sandia Park put May highs around 73°F and September highs near 77°F, though that station sits several hundred feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures up top run cooler. The trail sits among a cluster of other short hikes, with Rattlesnake, Mighty Mule and Lone Pine all about 0.1 mile away. Climbers can find Bouldering Cave roughly 2.3 miles off.
