Come and celebrate National Trails Day with us in the delightful surroundings of Hyde Memorial State Park in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains outside of Santa Fe. This nationwide event is sponsored by the American Hiking Society and is an annual observation of trails and the people who enjoy and maintain them. Amidst the cool pine forests of the Park, we’ll have a variety of projects from which to choose, from light to heavy trail work, sign installation, and maintenance of footbridges and other structures. No experience is necessary – just a willingness to join likeminded volunteers who enjoy working in the outdoors. We will gather Saturday morning between 8:00 and 8:15 am at Group Shelter 2, hear descriptions of the different projects, have a safety talk, and then head off to work on different crews. At the end of the day, a barbecue dinner will be provided. To get to the Park, take St. Francis Dr. or Cerrillos Rd. to Paseo de Peralta, head north on Washington Ave./Bishop’s Lodge Rd., and turn east on Artist Rd./Hyde Park Rd. Follow the latter 7 miles to the State Park, and look for the NMVFO road signs directing you to Group Shelter 2. We need to have an accurate headcount to ensure sufficient food and tools, so please sign up no later than May 31. PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED; the first 40 volunteers will receive an REI tee shirt. REI will also provide goods that will be given away in a lottery at the end of the day. Don’t hesitate to call or email Lowell if you have any questions or need more information.
