North Baldy Trail (Magdalena RD)
Contact Leader(s): Rob Selina, r.selina@nmvfo.org with any questions.
RESULTS: 11 Volunteers worked on the North Baldy Trail and Hop Canyon Trail in the Magdalena Mountains. A total of three miles of trail was improved.
Description: Join us for some needed maintenance on the North BaldyTrail #8 in the Magdalena Mountains West of Socorro. We will focus on clearing downed trees and cutting back overgrowth that is obscuring the tread. If you have a grudge against Gambel Oak, this is the project for you. The work will require several miles of hiking at altitude. For this reason, we will rate this project as difficult.
We will meet 8:30AM Saturday at the Hop Canyon Trailhead, which is approximately a 100 minute drive from the south side of Albuquerque.
We have reserved the group site at the Water Canyon Campground on Friday, for those of you who want to camp the night before, but meals will NOT be provided, so bring your own dinner and breakfast please.
There will be a limit of 20 people on this project. Participants should wear sturdy boots or work shoes, long pants, eye protection, gloves, and bring gear for rain. Please note that pets are not allowed on this project.
