012 was the “Year of the Trail” for the Santa Fe Conservation Trust (SFCT) and the community: Funds that were necessary to ensure the 2completion of the La Piedra Trail were raised during the Banff Mountain Film Festival, and later Dale Ball helped celebrate the opening of this important new trail connection. The Sun Mountain Trailhead ofﬁ cially opened to the public with the help of the neighborhood and the City of Santa Fe. A portion of The Rail Trail was resurfaced to meet federal standards, and the Arroyo Hondo Open Space received a new parking area, trailhead and trail segment from Santa Fe County. The Galisteo Basin Preserve added several miles to their public trail system. SFCT hosted the Southwest Trails Conference at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center, and the International Mountain Bike Association chose to host its semi-annual conference in this 400 year old city due in large part to the area’s high quality public trail systems. Volunteers were in- strumental to these successes and by donating hundreds upon hundreds of hours of their time on the trails and offering logistical support made it all possible. We know many of you were able to participate in one of these events; and continue to enjoy the fruits of these community-wide efforts that enrich our quality of life in northern New Mexico. Thank you for your support and enthusiasm for our programs - SFCT is expanding its reach in ways never before possible and conserving land so that it remains as it is today – with clean air and water, starry skies and heart stopping views. Our entire conservation program is gaining momentum - land, trails and dark skies – the result of providing a balanced and thoughtful ap- proach to protecting and promoting the natural world. Whether we are working with landowners to conserve land, negotiating more public access to the foothills, or assisting elementary school children with their astronomy lessons – SFCT is weaving important threads to create the fabric of a strong and lasting land ethic which beneﬁ ts us all. Thank you again for your support in 2012 and beyond. Together we are building a land conservation legacy for all of northern New Mexico.

Conservation Planning FCT has been utilizing GIS, a scien- Stiﬁ c tool, to help identify important areas for conservation that align with our mission. By prioritizing key natural lands, we can pinpoint the most important areas in need of immediate protection. GIS guides our conservation priorities and allows us to work more efﬁ ciently than ever before.

rails form an integral part of history, making the connections between resources and settlements that make civilization possible. Often, these Tconnections follow the migratory paths used by animals between water and food sources. Paths become trails become roads as camps turn to settlements turn to cities. Many of the major routes we have today follow the same lines as trails made hundreds or even thousands of years ago.

8 City of Trails: Historic Trails of Santa Fe

The Santa Fe Trail The famous Santa Fe Trail was fi rst plot- ted by William Becknell, an American trader who set out from Franklin, Missouri in 1821, and was fortunate enough to fi nd a route through the mountains via Raton Pass. When he arrived in Santa Fe, he found that Mexico had declared its independence. Prior to that, Spain had vigorously protected the borders of its northern colonies, making trade more dif- fi cult. The Santa Fe Trail was heavily used for more than 40 years, by traders, settlers and the military, becoming the route to the west from the eastern states. In 1846, the U.S. went to war with Mexi- co.
