SUMMARY:Quarai Spanish Corral Trail CANCELED
DESCRIPTION:“In the past two days\, we have seen a significant amount of rain\, which led to the arroyo at Quarai flooding\, including flooding the area that we use to access the Spanish Corral Trail to drive the woodchips in. We’ll be seeing more rain in the area for several hours tomorrow morning\, further making things even wetter. Due to the sensitive nature of the area we would be driving into\, we cannot risk damaging this cultural/archaeological landscape\, and frankly\, we wouldn’t even be able to drive through the area with how wet it is. \nAs of today\, we’ll keep the Spanish Corral Trail closed to the public….”\nDescription: Join NMVFO and the Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument Staff on Saturday\, September 26 for National Public Lands Day 2026. The National Monument is a complex of three pueblo and Spanish mission sites located near Mountainair\, NM. The Quarai site is located about 8 miles north of Mountainair\, at about 6650 feet. Quarai encompasses the archaeological remains of prehistoric Native American settlements\, historic remains of a pueblo that was abandoned in the 1670s\, the ruins of a 17th-century Spanish mission compound\, and 19th-century Spanish ranching artifacts. For this project\, we will improve the one mile Spanish Corral Loop Trail by adding wood chips to the tread\, trim back brush\, and improve drainage. We will meet in the Quarai Visitor Center parking lot at 8:30 AM to sign in\, review the planned work\, and conduct a safety briefing. \nVolunteers must wear sturdy boots (preferred) or shoes (no sandals)\, long pants\, eye protection\, and work gloves. Long sleeve shirts are required for brushing. Bring a hat\, sun protection\, and other apparel appropriate for the predicted weather. Also bring a day pack with water\, snacks\, lunch\, and other necessities. We plan to finish work by 4:00 pm. \nDirections: From Albuquerque\, drive east on I-40\, exit at Tijeras (Exit 175). Proceed south on Hwy 337 (old South 14) through Chilili. At the intersection with Hwy 55\, turn west and proceed on Hwy 55 through Tajique\, Torreon and Manzano. Approximately 5 miles south of Manzano\, just as you enter the village of Punta de Agua\, turn west on County Rd B076 and proceed to the Quarai overflow parking lot (North of the Visitor Center). The estimated driving time from the Big I is approximately 1.5 hours\, so plan accordingly. Please be there a little before 8:30 AM. If coming from the South (Socorro\, etc.) contact the Project Leader for directions as needed. \nTo sign up: Click on the button below and fill out the contact information. If the project is full\, you can email the project leader to be put on a wait list. \nDifficulty:  \nPlease read our Volunteer Guidelines before signing up for this project.\nOn the signup form please leave the "Number of Volunteers" at 1. If you would like to sign up additional volunteers please submit multiple signups.
