About Us (back to top)

NM Rails-to-Trails Association (NMRTA) was organized in 1994 in Cloudcroft, NM, with the following goals:

Converting abandoned railroad lines located in the Sacramento Mountains of Southern New Mexico into multi-use, multi-access recreational trails
Combining such trails with other trails to provide a fifty mile long loop trail that will lead from Cloudcroft to Sunspot to Oliver Lee State park to Alamogordo to La Luz to High Rolls and back to Cloudcroft.
Facilitating similar trail building efforts throughout New Mexico and eventually connecting all such trails to create a statewide rails-to-trails system.
NMRTA now has 450 business, family and individual members located all over the United States.

Weekend Work Days

 

Meet at 9:00 a.m. at the Switchback Rail Trail trailhead at Bailey Canyon trailhead just off US 82 (near Mile Marker 15)  

Come enjoy the cooler mountain temperatures and help us perform routine trail maintenance on the Switchback Trail.  Our primary activities will be trimming overgrown brush along the trail, and tread work. In addition, we would like to dig out the dirt washing around the posts and floorboards of the shelter with a bench near Bailey Canyon. Finally, we would like to help install some new signs that the Lincoln National Forest has obtained. It would be great to have some improved directional signs out on the trail for our hikers to enjoy.  

Tools will be provided. Bring your own water, work gloves, and sun protection. You are invited to bring a picnic lunch to enjoy after the work session which will conclude at Noon.
