Lower 9 Mile Road is a short, low-elevation cross-country ski route in the Sandia Ranger District of Cibola National Forest in New Mexico, managed by the Forest Service. The route is an out-and-back of about 0.38 miles, with a high point of 9,122 feet and a low of 9,053 feet, so the climb is only about 54 feet one way. The road sits close to several other trails. The Challenge Trail and the 9 Mile Loop Trail both lie about 0.1 mile away, and Capulin and the Capulin Peak Trail are each about 0.3 mile off. Climbers can find The Dihedral Wall and Randy's Wall roughly 1.5 miles away.
