Description: Join us as we build the newest trail in the BLM Box-Enterprise trail system west of Socorro. The Box-Enterprise Trail System extends from the sports complex at the western edge of Socorro to the scenic Box Canyon recreation area. The newest trail, the O2O Trail, will form a 2.8 mile hiking, running, biking or horseback riding loop when combined with the existing Blue Canyon Trail. Additional trails are planned in this trail network and will make for an engaging all-season destination. The work will consist of constructing a new trail cut into a side slope with hand tools such as rakes and shovels. We’ll be working in a high desert landscape with limited shade but with scenic views of the Magdalena Mountains. No prior experience constructing or maintaining trails is necessary – we’ll provide a basic introduction before we start work and will pair all volunteers with experienced trail leaders who can guide the work.
Volunteers should bring a daypack with lunch/snack and water, and wear sturdy boots or work shoes (no sandals), long pants, hat, eye protection, gloves, and bring gear for rain. Pets are not allowed on projects. Tread tools will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own.
Difficulty: 
Location: We’ll meet at the Blue Canyon Trailhead just west of Socorro on Highway 60.
Group Size: Up to 15.
