Hiking New Mexico's Newest long distance trail

June 5, 7:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.

What's it like to hike New Mexico's newest long-distance trail? Pam Neely, the trail's developer, will share her adventure, starting at Santa Fe Plaza, ending at Taos Plaza. She'll give us an overview - what the route traverses, preparation, and resources along the way. The trail is beautiful and has ample water, you'll meet wildlife, hug old growth trees, trek across lovely green meadows but there are challenges ahead. Hikers encounter diminishing snowpack, bark beetles, fire scars, cattle, and logging roads all in evidence along the trail, providing opportunities to expand your conservation awareness. So treat yourself to a 132 mile, multiday adventure!

Meanwhile, enjoy a beverage and snacks as well as a great evening with like-minded friends!
