SUMMARY:St. Peter's Dome (Jemez RD)
DESCRIPTION:RESULTS: Nineteen volunteers organized by the NMVFO repaired and improved 2.3 miles of the St Peters Dome Trail across drought-stricken Sanchez Canyon and up the ridge on the other side. Their work included bucking a half dozen fallen tree trunks blocking the trail (using crosscut and hand saws within the Dome Wilderness)\, widening the tread (to include carving a new “bench” in sections where loose pumice had overwhelmed the trail)\, removing weeds and trimming brush intruding on the trail\, improving drainage features\, and building cairns to mark the obscured trail up past its junction with the Turkey Springs Trail.  \nFlickr API error: Invalid API Key (Key has invalid format)\nPHOTO ALBUM LINK \n\nThe NMVFO has helped maintain this remote and rugged trail for many years\, most recently in 2016\, but the trail continues to suffer after-effects from the infamous Las Conchas wildfire of 2011\, especially erosion and fallen timbers. Under the guidance of Phyllis Martinez of the Jemez Ranger District\, we will clear brush and any deadfall blocking the trail corridor\, shore up washed out sections with rocks\, and improve the trail’s tread by out-sloping\, cleaning sediment\, and excavating other drainage features as needed. We will work from the south trailhead into the Dome Wilderness\, through cliff-lined Sanchez Canyon and possibly up the escarpment beyond. The scenic vistas are unobstructed\, but shade will be scarce and hiking on segments with steep grades and switchbacks somewhat strenuous. USFS regulations require long pants\, long-sleeved shirts\, sturdy (and comfortable) boots\, and work gloves. Also bring a day pack\, hat\, sunscreen\, sunglasses and—if precipitation is in the forecast—a rain jacket or poncho. For additional guidance\, please consult http://nmvfo.org/volunteer/volunteer-faq. (Because of blowing dust\, contact lenses may be uncomfortable if strong winds are predicted.) In addition to carrying a tool\, you will need to pack in your own lunch and plenty of water. Extra bottled water and other drinks will be available from a cooler at the trailhead. \nOur meeting place will be at the Pueblo de Cochiti Convenience Store\, 1405 Cochiti Highway (NM 22). See https://www.google.com/maps/@35.6473593\,-106.3291461\,16.25z?hl=en or geo-location 35°38’54.4″N\, 106°19’53.6″W. This is a relatively short commute from either Albuquerque or Santa Fe. Take I-25 to Exit 264 at the bottom of La Bajada Hill\, then west on NM 16 and right on NM 22 past the massive Cochiti Lake Dam and up the hill to the Convenience Store/Gasoline Station on the right. Park in the gravel lot on the left of the store\, which has coffee\, pastries and other snacks\, as well as restrooms. Plan to arrive no later than 8:30 AM\, when we will carpool in high-clearance vehicles to the trailhead\, which is a few miles up Forest Road 289. (The gate for FR 289 is on the right side of NM 22 about 3/4 mile past the Cochiti Golf Course.) For anyone who would like to stay nearby overnight\, the Corps of Engineers operates two campgrounds at Cochiti Lake (minimum fee: $5.00).

SUMMARY:Devisadero Loop (Camino Real RD)
DESCRIPTION:RESULTS: Signs were installed near Taos with ten volunteers\, renewing 5.0 miles of trail.\n \nFlickr API error: Invalid API Key (Key has invalid format)\nPHOTO ALBUM LINK \n\nThe El Nogal Area hosts several popular multi-use trails where you can see an array of wildflowers and incredible views of Taos\, the Rio Grande\, San Antonio Mountain\, and Wheeler Peak. We will be working on the Devisadero Loop Trail near Taos\, NM\, installing signs and doing trail maintenance including removal of deadfall\, brushing back encroaching vegetation\, step construction\, and tread repair. We will work all day Saturday\, and half a day on Sunday. Project limited to 12 volunteers. \nCamping will be available Friday\, May 11th through Sunday\, May 13th. Potable water and portable bathrooms are located nearby. The campsite is located approximately three miles east of Taos\, at the hotshot base helipad area\, so all town amenities will be available. NMVFO will provide breakfast Saturday and Sunday\, dinner Saturday night. If you plan to eat with us\, please bring your own camp dinnerware. Dinner on Friday evening (though snacks may be available) and lunch on Saturday and Sunday will be on your own. Carpooling is encouraged. Registration for this project is required for planning purposes; please sign up for this project no later than 12:00 PM on Tuesday\, May 8th so that we can match provisions to participants. Unfortunately\, we will not be able to support restricted diets. \nVolunteers need to bring their own camping equipment and should wear long pants\, long sleeves\, sturdy boots (no sandals or tennis/athletic shoes) and work gloves. They should also bring sunscreen\, a hat\, rain protection (just in case)\, daypack\, water bottles/packs\, and snacks to get you from meal-to-meal. A camp chair would also be a good idea to bring. Tools will be provided. Just as a reminder\, dogs are not allowed on projects.

SUMMARY:San Pedro Parks Wilderness (Cuba RD)
DESCRIPTION:RESULT: Five volunteers renewed 3.5 miles of trail\, removing 27 deadfalls. \nFlickr API error: Invalid API Key (Key has invalid format)\nPHOTO ALBUM LINK \n\nJoin us as we help clear and restore a section of this trail located on the south end of the San Pedro Parks Wilderness. This trail is one of the longest in the Parks\, but it is also one of the least used. It needs a lot of TLC to get it back in shape. This is an unsupported backpack project\, which means that you will be expected to carry in everything you need for four days at basecamp. You will also be expected to carry in a (provided) tool which we will use for the project. Come prepared to do your own cooking and filter your own water. We will focus on clearing the trail of deadfall\, but may also do tread work depending on time. We will hike 2.5 miles in to an area where we will have access to water\, and then begin working back to the TH\, spending all three nights in the same location and hiking out the last day. Carpooling options available. \nThere is a 10 person limit and you must be a US Citizen to participate. Therefore\, you MUST pre-register with the project leader\, Bill Velasquez\, nmvfo@live.com or 505-292-6030. If you are not pre-registered\, you will be turned away at the trailhead. \n
