NMRTA is partnering with the Forest Service to host a poker hike on National Trails Day!  Starting and ending at the Depot in Cloudcroft, we will have five stations along 1.5 miles of trail where you draw a card to make your poker hand.  Top three hands receive a prize!  The trails are family friendly, historic, and scenic.  The original rail bed on the Brooks property will be open, where you can see the progress on restoring the historic railroad trestle.  We hope to see you there!

WHAT WE WILL BE DOING:  We will be ‘sprucing up” around the cabin and the trestle (a national historic site) on the Brooks property, in preparation for opening the area for viewing by the hiking public during the summer. Mostly light to medium work…we can use a lot of people! Bring water, gloves, sun protection, and sturdy shoes.

WHEN:  Saturday May 19, 2018, 9 am…work until noon.

WHERE:  Meet in Cloudcroft at the Village Spur Trailhead, where Highways 82 and 130 intersect.

We will have shirts and caps with the new NM Rails-to-Trails Association logo for purchase.
