Three Rivers Petroglyph Site (Las Cruces BLM) – CANCELED
April 18, 2020 @ 8:00 AM - April 19, 2020 @ 2:00 PM
Description: Join us to help improve a trail that goes through outstanding prehistoric rock art. There are over 21,000 petroglyphs at this site near the base of the Sacramento Mountains in southeastern New Mexico near Carrizozo. Camping spots will be available for tents, car camping and small RVs (no hookups). The campground has water, bathrooms and cooking grills. Volunteers will be moving gravel to cover the old eroded trail very close to the campground. Please wear weather appropriate clothing, including long pants, long sleeves, sturdy boots (no sandals or tennis/athletic shoes) and work gloves. Bring sunscreen, a hat, rain protection, day pack, water, snacks, and lunch. Tools will be provided by NMVFO. Sorry, dogs are not allowed on NMVFO projects. Detailed directions to the work site will be provided prior to the project. Meals will be provided Saturday morning and evening, and Sunday morning. Advance registration is required; please sign up below by April 14th to enable food preparation. Vegetarian options will be available if advance notice is given.
Difficulty: 1-2 Pulaskis (work will be challenging, but close to the campground)
Group Size: Up to 15
