Williams Lake Trail

Come join us in the splendor of the Taos Ski Valley! We’ll be working in the high country on Williams Lake Trail, and there are tasks of every level to be performed. The worksite is about a mile from the campsite, and the work includes routine trail maintenance, including taking care of a short, swampy section. Our camp will be at around 10,300 feet and we’ll be working up to 11,200feet.

The campsite will be in the proximity of the Bavarian Lodge on Twining Road, about 3 miles from the Taos Ski Valley Parking Lot. This regularly maintained, graded dirt road starts near the east end of the lot, and winds its way up to the Lodge in a southeasterly direction. Driving from the lot, you pass a pond around the halfway point, then pass the Hiker Parking Lot before reaching the Lodge. The campsite will be east of the Lodge… just follow the NMVFO road signs.

Meals include a light breakfast Saturday morning, Saturday dinner, and Sunday breakfast. Our sponsoring agency, the Questa Ranger District, will provide potable water, a Porta Potty, and a fire ring (if we can obtain permission and fire restrictions aren’t in effect)… bring everything else you need, including all other meals and snacks. It may be cold, so bring warm clothing and an extra blanket or two. Please sign up by Monday, July 21, 2008, and let Jean know if you are interested in sharing a ride.
