Borrego Mesa Trail #150 (Pecos Wilderness)
August 28, 2021 @ 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Contact Leader(s): Gena Robertson, g.robertson@nmvfo.org with any questions.
RESULTS: On August 28 , 2021, eight volunteers (with 2 cooks providing meals) maintained approximately 2.75 miles of trail in the Pecos Wilderness, lopping, removing downfall, and improving tread.
Description: Come join us as we clear deadfall (trees that have fallen across the trail), brush, and perform other trail work along the Borrego Mesa Trail #150 in the Pecos Wilderness Area of the Santa Fe National Forest (SFNF)! We’ll be car-camping near the trailhead on Friday evening off of FR 306 near Cordova, NM at around 8600’ elevation. Dinner Friday evening and breakfast Saturday morning will be provided by the NMVFO. COVID protocols will be employed. The drive to parking for the trailhead requires high-clearance vehicles; carpooling may be necessary for a short distance.
The hike to the work area will begin with a 600′ descent in elevation followed by a short stream crossing. The rest of the hike is gentle elevation gain next to a small stream.
You are welcome to join us on Friday evening (for dinner and camping) or Saturday morning (for breakfast or at the start of the project). Just let us know what your plans are by contacting Gena Robertson at g.robertson@nmvfo.org.
