Come and celebrate National Trails Day with us in the delightful
surroundings of Hyde Memorial State Park in the Sangre de Cristo
Mountains outside 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. 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 tasks,
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 to Paseo de Peralta at the north end of Santa Fe, and proceed
east on Paseo de Peralta to Washington Ave. At the bright pink Scottish Rite temple, turn north (left)
on Washington Ave/Bishop’s Lodge Rd, and turn east (right) at the first stoplight onto Artist Rd./Hyde
Park Rd. Follow the latter 7½ 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 30. PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. Don’t hesitate to call or
email Lowell if you have any questions or need more information.
