Three Bottles Flow Trail is a 1.2-mile mountain biking route in the Sandia Ranger District of Cibola National Forest in New Mexico, managed by the Forest Service. The trail is an out-and-back with a total length of about 2.4 miles, rising from 7,337 feet to 7,477 feet, a climb of about 130 feet one way. It is rated moderate. The most comfortable months for a ride are typically late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Sandia Park show May highs around 73°F and September highs around 77°F, with lows in the 40s. That station sits about 450 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the route run a little cooler. Dogs are allowed on the trail. Three Bottles Advanced, a mountain biking route, lies about 0.3 miles away. The Blue Ribbon Trail and West Boundary hike are both within a mile. Climbers can find Block Wall about 1.5 miles off.
