Come join us at Cerrillos Hills State Park for a one-day project. We
have a few possibilities in mind. The Escalante trail entrance leading
up from the road has some major drainage problems that will require
lots of earthmoving and rockwork. Two sections of trail need to be
closed properly so they don't look like trails anymore. If we can get the
clearances, there is a section of the Elkins trail to re-route. The Hills
are in pinyon-juniper country, with shallow rocky soils, and very little
shade, so bring a big hat. Also your lunch, gloves, plenty of water and
a sense of humor - the park manager likes to have fun.
Directions: From State Road 14, turn into the village of Cerrillos. At the first stop sign, turn right. The
road will wind north through the village until it turns to dirt at the cattle guard. Bear left here to
continue up County Road 57. About 1/4 mile up, there is a large parking lot on the left where we will
meet at 8:00 AM. VFO signs will be there. The park's phone number is 474-0196.
