Fourteen volunteers from NMVFO and one BLM staffer returned to San Lorenzo for a one-day trail project, completing the rim trail route started last November, and adding another overlook loop, making one reroute, closing off user trail, and building cairns.
We also constructed a trail down to Little San Lorenzo, a slot canyon that is destined to become a favorite destination of local hikers.

Along with raking tread, we built cairns and lopped the corridor, especially the thick manzanita growing on the slope down to Sycamore Creek.

We used loppers and hand saws to brush about 1.5 miles of trail, on a cool cloudy day, good conditions for trail work. Juniper and Emory oak were the most abundant plants needing trimming.
At the end of the month, Gila BCH will team up with NMVFO for a 4-day backpack trail project, that will go further along Rabb Park Trail.
