Lilley Park 2023

Eight hikers, supported by 7 Backcountry Horsemen riders, backpacked into Lilley Park in the Gila to lop brush and work on tread for 4 days, on a joint NMVFO and BCH-Gila project. Our site was without water, so riders had made several trips before we arrived to haul in water, and the riders camped at a different site to do sawing.

We did have snow flurries during the first two days, even during working, but little or no wind. A hot tent was really welcome in the morning before the sun came up.
