Ellis Trail is a cross-country ski route in the Sandia Ranger District of Cibola National Forest in northern New Mexico, managed by the Forest Service. The trail is about 1.7 miles long and covers a climb of 412 feet, with the out-and-back route reaching a high point of 10,254 feet and starting at about 9,814 feet. The climb is modest, and the trail pairs easily with other outings in the area. Dogs are allowed on this trail, according to the OpenStreetMap contributors, so it works well for skiers who bring a pet. The trail is close to several other routes. Buried Cable Trail and Switchback Trail, both cross-country ski routes, sit about 0.3 miles away. The North Crest Trail, a hike, is about 0.3 miles off. Climbers can find the Santa Maria climbing area roughly half a mile away.
