Hyde Memorial State Park
July 13, 2019 @ 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Contact Leader(s): Jon Blakey, 734-255-5251, jblakey102@gmail.com with any questions.
RESULTS: Fourteen volunteers rerouted two steep and badly eroded sections of the Park’s popular Circle Trail with several hundred feet of new switchbacks and helped the only two members of the Park staff install a new interpretive sign and trail marker.
Come join us for trail work at Hyde Memorial State Park! Hyde Memorial is the oldest state park in New Mexico, located at a cool 9000’ elevation in pine and spruce forests. We will be working on a section of the West Circle Trail, which is heavily used by park visitors. Our work will involve cutting a short re-route up a steep hill, plus some drainage, tread work and switch-back tweaking as time allows. We may also include some tree cutting in other areas. There are rustic campsites for interested volunteers on a first come, first serve basis; space is limited but the park will give us preference if we call ahead. For more details or to sign up, please contact Jon Blakey at jblakey102@gmail.com by July 11th. You can also sign up on our Meetup site. Hope to see you there!
