SUMMARY:Quarai Spanish Corral Trail (Salinas Pueblo Missions NM)
DESCRIPTION:RESULTS: Sixteen NMVFO volunteers and Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument staff celebrated National Trails Day at the Quarai site. We rehabilitated the Spanish Corral Trail. NMVFO crews originally built this one mile loop trail in 1996. This year\, we added wood chips to improve the tread. The trail is classified as “primitive\,” so we did not widen the corridor. The purpose of the chips is to absorb moisture from the local “gumbo” soil to prevent hikers from making multiple paths to avoid muddy sections. After we completed the project work\, Natalia Sanchez-Hernandez\, Chief of Interpretation\, gave us a tour of the site and explained Quarai’s rich Native American and Spanish history.  \n\n\n	\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n	 \n	\n	Show More\n\n\n\nPHOTO ALBUM LINK \n\nDescription: Join NMVFO and the Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument Staff on June 7th for National Trails Day 2025. 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 Manzano\, just as you enter the village of Punta de Agua\, turn west on County Rd B076 and proceed to Quarai Site Visitor Center parking. 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.

SUMMARY:Beatty’s Trail Full/WAITLIST (SFNF)
DESCRIPTION:RESULTS: On June 14-15\, Santa Fe National Forest\, Pecos/Las Vegas RD\, 17 NMVFO volunteers conducted maintenance on the initial 2.1 miles of the popular Beatty’s Trail out of the Jack’s Creek Trailhead. 12 logs were removed\, significant portions of the trail were bench-cut and outslope angle corrected\, two steel drainage culverts were cleared. Stone steps were set in two badly-eroded/incised climbing turns to help control erosion. New grade-reversals were set both immediately above and below three of the four climbing turns on Beatty’s to remove runoff and combat further incision. Numerous other grade-reversals and/or drains were constructed where appropriate. A total of approx. 40 of these were installed within the project area. Finally\, the trail within our project area was cleared of obstructing brush using the 6’ X 8’ USFS standard.  \n\n\n	\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n	 \n	\n	Show More\n\n\n\nPHOTO ALBUM LINK \n\nIf this project is full\, please contact the project leaders to be placed on a waitlist. \nDescription: Join us for a car-camping weekend at Jack’s Creek Group Camp Sites A and B\, Pecos/Las Vegas Ranger District of the Santa Fe National Forest. At 9\,000 feet elevation\, Jack’s Creek is the northern-most and highest campground in the Pecos Canyon\, providing fine views to the South and West. The road to the camp is paved throughout. Volunteers wishing to arrive early may do so\, the camp will be open Friday evening\, June 13. The camp is provided with tables\, fire rings\, and a composting toilet. Nights will be chilly\, so bring warm clothes and some firewood if you have it. Remember that folding chair! \nWork: Our work will focus on clearing the trailhead of brush\, and improving the first two miles of Beatty’s Trail\, FT25. Bench-cutting will address a “trail-creep” problem on the trail\, we’ll improve the tread as well\, and install grade-reversals (also known as “rolling dips”) where needed. As such\, this project will involve some brushing with loppers\, but will mostly focus on modifying the trail tread with McLeods and pick-mattocks. \nFood: Our cook team will provide a light meal or snacks on Friday night\, breakfast on Saturday and Sunday mornings\, and supper on Saturday night. Volunteers should bring their own snacks and lunch materials\, as well as beverages of their choice and a cooler. \nWater: Due to maintenance issues\, this will be a dry camp. NMVFO will provide some water for camp\, but volunteers should be prepared with your own extra water for the weekend. \nTools/Equipment/Clothing: NMVFO will provide all tools needed and hard hats\, which are required on this project. Participants should wear sturdy boots (no sandals or light shoes)\, long pants\, long-sleeved shirts\, hat\, eye protection (sunglasses are fine)\, gloves\, daypack with plenty of room for water\, sunblock\, and bring gear for rain. \nDifficulty:  for treadwork and 1\,000 ft elevation gain on trail. \nGroup Size: Up to 15\, plus 2 cooks \nPlease remember that while we love our pets\, they are not allowed on NMVFO projects. \nIf the project is full\, please contact the project leaders to be put on a waitlist. \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.
