Leader: Bill Metz (505) 286-1029
Come and join the NMVFO and the Jemez Ranger District as they continue to reestablish and redefine Capulin Trail #116 in the Dome Wilderness. This project welcomes ALL volunteers, children, and pets! However, dogs MUST be people and pet friendly. Pet owners must control their dogs and clean up after them, both at the campground and on the trail. Capulin trail is below Dome Lookout on St. Peters Dome. It descends 2 miles through Dome Wilderness to Capulin Canyon and then on to Bandelier Natl. Mon. Wilderness. This is the site of the 1996 Dome fire. We will camp at Graduation Flat, at the Jct. of FR 289 and FR 36, 2.1 miles south of SR 4. FR 289, 0.6 mi. past mile marker 43 on SR 4, is a good, graveled, low clearance vehicle road. The campsite is RV accessible, with parking in a large graveled area, (no pads or hookups). Porta-potty and drinking water will be provided. Bring camp chairs and tables if you have them. Chef Micky will serve hot breakfasts both Sat. and Sun. mornings, and dinner Sat. night. Assemble-it-yourself lunch fixings will be available Sat. morning. At 8:00 AM we will shuttle about seven miles from the camp to the trail head in FS high clearance vehicles. Please dress in comfortable layers. Long pants, long-sleeved shirts, sturdy boots, hats, good gloves, rain gear and sunscreen are recommended. Drivers, please record your one way mileage to project. VFO will be reimbursed based on mileage. To sign up, please call Bill Metz: 505 286-1029 after 6:00 PM, or email Phyllis Martinez at pamartinez02@fs.fed.us.
