Details:
🗓️ When: June 28th 8:30 AM - 3:30 PM
📍 Where: Meet at the parking lot with the radio tower east of the Phoenix Grill (36.576271, -105.438483)
⛏️ What to Expect: A day filled with fun and trail maintenance on one of the most renowned trails in northern New Mexico. Work could consist of basic trail maintenance like cutting out fallen logs improving drainage, tread, and clearing vegetation from the trail. We'll be using tools like pick mattocks, McLeods, shovels, loppers, crosscut saws, axes, and hand saws.
We will be hiking 2 miles up the Williams Lake trail to access the Wheeler Peak Summit trail, expect to hike 6-7 miles roundtrip with tools. The trail is uphill and has loose rock in parts. We will be working at elevations of 11,250'-12,250', it's highly advised to acclimate yourself before attending.
🎒 What to Bring: Please wear long pants, sturdy hiking shoes/work boots, work gloves, and eye protection (sunglasses okay). Bring a day pack with plenty of food and water, sunscreen, layers, and rain gear.
*We will be on the trail all day and not returning to the cars for lunch*
ECTA will provide the hard hats and tools.
We hope to see you there!
