Section,  south of Hyde Park Rd.  We’ll meet at the “Corral” trailhead (Sierra del Norte Rd./Cerros Colorados Rd.) at 8:30, then we can carpool up Cerros Colorados Rd. to minimize the number of cars we need to park up there.

We will work west of Cerros Colorados Rd. where it is crossed by Dale Ball Trails.  There is some parking space on the gravel where the trail emerges just w. of Junction 21.  We will focus on needs north and south of Junction 19.

Bring work boots, long pants/shirt sleeves, sun protection, snacks, and water.

To sign up, contact Tim Rogers at tim@sfct.org

Looking for a few people to work on general maintenance in the Dale Ball Central and North area. Pleas send an email to Judy Costlow if you plan on attending as there will be a limited number of tools available.

Help us unveil the first of our new and improved trail head signs for the Dale Ball Trails!

1:00-1:30 p.m. Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

1:30-3:00 p.m. Guided Hike & Snacks

Join a community celebration of the development of a “Grand Unified Trails System”
(GUTS) for Santa Fe on National Public Lands Day, Sat., Sept. 26.  We will start with a few hours of optional volunteer maintenance on Santa Fe National Forest’s Atalaya Trail, and finish with an open community picnic partway up the mountain, hosted by SFCT.  Together, we will be able to look out at the city and imagine all the wonderful connections that we can work together to achieve, in order to make the GUTS vision of a unified, interconnected trail system into a reality for Santa Fe.

To participate in the work day, meet at Wilderness Gate Trailhead at 9 am.  Bring work gloves, sun protection, sturdy boots, and water.  SFCT will supply hard hats and tools.  Let us know if you can make it by sending an e-mail to info@sfct.org

To participate in the picnic celebration of GUTS, starting at noon, find us partway up the mountain, roughly one mile past the intersection of the Atalaya Trail and the “St. John’s Trail.”  Instead of taking a left at the big cairn with the “Atalaya Overlook” sign, we will be taking a right to head across the old abandoned driveway and up the knob to the east.  (Have no fear, this part will be marked!)
