Nambe Creek Crossing (Santa Fe NF)
August 13, 2019 @ 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM
Contact Leader(s): Mike Timmer, 281-622-6858, m.timmer@nmvfo.org with any questions.
RESULTS: Eleven volunteers hiked in and removed an old rotten log stream crossing, and replaced with a rock bridge, with HUGE rocks indeed!
Come join us on a one-day project on Tuesday August 13th as we remove a dilapidated foot bridge over Nambe Creek and replace it with large boulders for a safer and more aesthetic water crossing on the popular Winsor Trail in the Pecos Wilderness Area. The water crossing is about 2.2 miles from the Winsor Trailhead at the lower Santa Fe Ski Area parking lot. We will meet at 9:00 am in the parking lot (look for the green NMVFO signs), hike to the water crossing, complete the work, and then hike back out. We anticipate being back at the parking lot by 3:00 pm. Plan on bringing a lunch and water; wearing boots, long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, and work gloves; and getting your feet wet. Hard hats, rock slings, and rock bars will be provided. Please contact us by August 9th, 2019 if you plan to attend. Hope to see you there!
