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.
I revisit a hike from 12 years ago to refresh my memory of NM, and to try alternates not taken on that previous hike.
