Saddleback Trail (SFNF)
May 31 @ 8:00 AM - 4:30 PM
Contact Leader(s): Mike Timmer, 281-622-6858, m.timmer@nmvfo.org with any questions.
Description: Join NMVFO and the Santa Fe Fat Tire Society on a one-day project to improve the tread of the Saddleback Trail (#232) in the Santa Fe National Forest. The Saddleback Trail has been damaged by years of use. We will reshape the trail tread to improve drainage from the trail using pick/mattocks and McLeod hoes. We will also do some light lopping and limbing to cut back brush and tree limbs that are encroaching onto the trail. All tools will be provided.
Since parking is limited at the Juan Trailhead which leads to the Saddleback Trail, we will meet at the Sierra del Norte Trailhead at Coordinates 35.71094, -105.89943 at 8:00 am then carpool 1.8 miles to the Juan Trailhead at Coordinates 35.72597, -105.88721.
US Forest Service rules require all volunteers to wear boots, long pants, long sleeves, hard hats (provided), work gloves, and eye protection (sunglasses okay) while working. Please bring a daypack to carry your lunch, snacks, sunblock, rain gear, and a full-day’s supply of water.
Reminder: Pets are not allowed on NMVFO projects.
