Two NMVFO and Socorro Trails volunteers scouted the Hop Canyon Trail #25/25A + North Baldy #8 Trail loop, about 10 miles. We had received a report about downed trees in that area, and decided to clear the Hop Canyon trails in preparation for an upcoming project that will concentrate on North Baldy.
We enjoyed good weather, fine views, and worthy conversation, while clearing over 25 blowdowns.
Hope to see you on the trail project!
Several NMVFO volunteers met on National Trails Day at the Quarai site at Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument.
We worked on Spanish Corral loop trail, adding and spreading wood chips on sections of the trail that were not rocky or part of a drainage.
Afterwards, Natalia from the National Park Service gave our group a presentation about the history of the Quarai site.
20 or so Socorro Trails and NMVFO volunteers returned to Six Mile in the Magdalenas to lop and clear blowdowns.
Six Mile, up towards the Magdalena Ridge Observatory from Water Canyon, is high enough for fine views of peaks and plains.
