Frey Trail

Watch a slide show of this project

This project takes place in Bandelier National Monument, which offers spectacular scenery along with its famous cliff dwellings, built over 600 years ago by ancestors of modern Pueblo people. Running through the Canon de los Frijoles from Juniper Campground to the visitor center, the scenic Frey Trail offers some of the best of Bandelier. Please come join the NMVFO on the weekend of April 19 and 20 as we work on this great trail. The spring weather should be perfect for general trail maintenance, including repairing water bars, installing steps and retaining walls, and re-establishing tread. NMVFO volunteers can camp free of charge on Friday (April 18) and Saturday at Juniper Campground. You can join us for either Saturday or Sunday as your schedule allows. Breakfast on Saturday and Sunday is provided, but please bring your lunch, along with the equipment you need to camp and hike. Our volunteers can enjoy a hearty dinner provided by the NMVFO camp chef on Saturday, and then listen to a ranger give a talk on the fascinating history of the area. The satisfaction that comes from helping one of our nation’s great treasures will also be included with this project. Space is limited, so please call or email the trip leader, Heather Gordon, at (505) 842-7851 or gordonh@saic.com. Please, no dogs.
