Caring for the Trails of Santa Fe
We’re the Trails Alliance of Santa Fe — a volunteer organization working in cooperation with public land managers to help plan, build, and maintain non-motorized trails in the Santa Fe area.
We strive to provide a fun and engaging program to educate, train, and manage volunteers to restore, maintain, and promote quality, safe, and sustainable trails to benefit the community and its visitors.
Trails Alliance of Santa Fe Goals:
- Maintain and build sustainable trails.
- Promote and practice trail user education, etiquette, and respect.
- Support land management agencies.
- Provide information about area trails and trail resources.
- Promote the benefits and importance of trails to the community.
Alliance partners include the Santa Fe County Open Space and Trails Division, the City of Santa Fe, the non-profit Commonweal Conservancy and the non-profit Santa Fe Conservation Trust.

IMBA Trail Care Crew Event a success! The International Mountain Bicycling Association’s (IMBA) Subaru/IMBA Trail Care Crew was in Santa Fe from Thursday, July 8 through Saturday, July 10 to talk trails, teach people proper trailbuilding technique, and spend quality time digging in the dirt. We had 20 people show up to talk about making our organization stronger on Thursday evening (followed by some liquid refreshment at 2nd Street Brewery), about a dozen folks showed up for the group ride on Friday and 30 people attended the training on Saturday. All the events were a lot of fun!
We wish to thank Steve and Morgan Lommele, our fearless leaders and Subaru/IMBA experts, for their great spirit and dedication to trails throughout the country. Also, thanks to Whole Foods & Trader Joe’s for donating food and drinks and a big thanks to REI for hosting our workshop and giving all the attendees a “surprise”. Many thanks to Jennifer Sublett from the Forest Service for giving us a classroom and a trail to work on.
