Nambe Lake Trail (Santa Fe NF)
August 5, 2020 @ 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM
Contact Leader(s): Jenny Blackmore, j.blackmore@nmvfo.org with any questions.
RESULTS: Ten volunteers closed off dozens of user trails along Nambe Lake Trail.
Description: Come join us on a one-day midweek project on the Nambe Lake Trail leading (appropriately enough) to Nambe Lake. The Forest Service has requested our help in closing off “social trails” and marking the main trail up to the lake. We will also be installing some signs on trees at a couple confusing junctions.
We will meet at the Winsor Trailhead at 8:00AM on Wednesday, Aug 5th. There we’ll divide into small groups in accordance with USFS (and State of NM) Covid-19 protocols, and separately hike 2.1 miles along the Winsor Trail to begin our work near the Winsor-Nambe trail junction. Nambe Lake is an additional 1.2 steep miles up from the junction. Volunteers are required to bring face masks, work gloves, sturdy boots, eye protection (sunglasses), long pants and long sleeves. NMVFO will provide hard hats and tools. Please also bring a daypack with sunscreen, rain gear, lunch and snacks, and plenty of water (and/or a filter if you’d rather take water from Nambe Creek). And please leave your pets at home!
Sign up below by Sunday August 2nd if you’d like to join. Hope to see you there!
Difficulty: 2 Pulaskis
