Oso Corredor is a 5.4-mile out-and-back hike in the Sandia Ranger District of Cibola National Forest in New Mexico, managed by the Forest Service. The trail rises from a low point of 7,860 feet to a high of 8,585 feet, with a total elevation gain of 745 feet. It is a moderate route on natural surface, and bikes are allowed. The most comfortable months for a visit are typically late spring and early fall. Typical averages from the nearby Sandia Park weather station, which sits about 1,555 feet lower than the trail's high point, run from highs around 73°F in May to about 77°F in September. Winter there is cold, with January highs near 44°F and lows around 19°F. The trail is open from April 1 to November 30. The Challenge Trail, a cross-country ski route, starts just 0.1 mile away, and the Old Faulty Trail and Sulphur hike are both within a mile. Climbers can find Pino Wall about 2.5 miles off.
