In collaboration with our friends at NMVFO, we have planned a maintenance day for Mesa Trail #13 in the Magdalenas on Saturday, May 30th.
The plan is to clear downed trees, clear sections of the corridor of overgrowth, and improve navigation on the upper loop. This project involves a pretty long hike (~9 miles) so we'll plan for a full workday, including a lunch break.
This is the first step in a larger project: the Forest Service is improving the trailhead (new signs, picnic tables and rock barriers) later this year and we also have the Rocky Mountain Youth Corps scheduled to do tread/erosion repair this fall. The NM Outdoor Recreation Division has funded this through a Trails+ grant, and we should have a much nicer trail and trailhead for our combined efforts!
