The Continental Divide Trail wants you! The CDT will finally be completed near Mount Taylor this year. Come be a part of it! The NMVFO will be working with the Continental Divide Trail Alliance, breaking new tread. Instead of repairing trails, we will be building a new one! The route has been marked, and it will be up to us to establish the tread, as well as build cairns and establish markers.
The worksite is a short hike from where we will be camping. The campsite is dispersed
primitive camping in a meadow at over 8000 feet at the base of Mount Taylor; expect
beautiful scenery, but also the potential for cool and unpredictable weather. With that in mind,
make sure to bring lots of layers, sunscreen, and rain gear, as well as your gloves. Car
camping is an option. There are no developed facilities at the campsite.
We will meet at the Mount Taylor ranger station Saturday morning or at the Saturday night
campsite if you come the night before. Directions will be given when you sign up, but do it
quickly! This is surely to fill up fast; there is a 25 volunteer limit.
