Stewart Lake Backpack 2023

Six NMVFO volunteers hiked up Windsor Ridge Trail #271 from Cowles to Stewart Lake in the Pecos Wilderness, and camped for 4 days to do trail work between Stewart Lake and Spirit Lake, and beyond on Winsor and Skyline trails. The Pecos Chapter of the Backcountry Horsemen carried tools and equipment to the group camping site at Stewart, and back down at the end of the project.

We started with a rock-work project, placing boulders as stepping stones in a stream, using a rock web.

Most of our work was clearing deadfall, with a 2-person crosscut saw and Katana-Boys.

Good team, good conversations at camp.
