  • Red, Gold, Wild and Wheeler Backpacking in Northern New Mexico Friday, September 4 – Tuesday, September 8, 2015
    The Dallas Sierra Club invites you to Red, Gold, Wild and Wheeler Backpacking in Northern New Mexico Friday, September 4 – Tuesday, September 8, 2015 Trip Coordinator: Stephen Fleischman [email protected], 972 689-7317 Where: Backpack in the Questa Ranger District, Sangre de Cristo Mountains of Northern New Mexico, near the Taos Ski Valley and the town of Red River, weaving in and out of the 19,661 acre Wheeler Peak Wilderness. One trip option is in the beautiful Rio Grande del Norte National Monument and the Rio Grande Gorge. This is, in part, a service trip and the activities involved will be interesting and fun as well as helpful. To the extent feasible, each trip will do one or more of the following: Record GPS tracks of the trails. The trails as shown on existing maps are very inaccurate, so the collected data will be used to update maps. Don’t worry -- the trip leaders will have accurate maps. Photograph and record locations of existing trail signs and record coordinates for recommended additional signs. Record campsites, noting condition, availability of water, existence and number of fire rings, etc. Tally visitors encountered on the trail. Identify and record the locations of noxious weeds. Departure: The bus will depart the Walmart parking lot (northwest quadrant of I-635 and Midway Road) at 7:30 PM on Friday, September 4. Arrive by 7:00 PM to load your gear. We’ve chartered a sleeper bus that converts from aircraft seating to bunks. Leave a car at Walmart if you wish. Neither the Sierra Club nor Wal-Mart assumes responsibility for your car or its contents, but Walmart is open 24 hours, the lot is lighted nor have we experienced a problem with parked vehicles.

    DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR MISCELLANEOUS FIELD STUDIES UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY MAP MF-1570-A PAMPHLET MINERAL RESOURCE POTENTIAL OF THE COLUMBINE-HONDO WILDERNESS STUDY AREA, TAGS COUNTY, NEW MEXICO By Steve Ludington, U. S. Geological Survey, John P. Briggs, U. S. Bureau of Mines, and James M. Robertson, New Mexico Bureau of Mines and Mineral Resources STUDIES RELATED TO WILDERNESS Under the provisions of the Wilderness Act (Public Law 88-577, September 3, 1964) and the Joint Conference Report on Senate Bill 4, 88th Congress, the U. S. Geological Survey and the U. S. Bureau of Mines have been conducting mineral surveys of wilderness and primitive areas. Areas officially designated as "wilderness," "wild," or "canoe" when the act was passed were incorporated into the National Wilderness Preservation System, and some of them are currently being studied. The act provided that areas under consideration for wilderness designation should be studied for suitability for incorporation into the Wilderness System. The mineral surveys constitute one aspect of the suitability studies. The act directs that the results of such surveys are to be made available to the public and be submitted to the President and the Congress. This report discusses the results of a mineral survey of the Columbine-Hondo Wilderness Study Area in the Carson National Forest, Taos County, N. Mex. The Columbine-Hondo Wilderness Study Area was established by Public Law 96-550, December 19, 1980; it was earlier classified as a further planning area (B3032) during the Second Roadless Area Review and Evaluation (RARE n), by the U. S. Forest Service, January 1979.

  • Red River, New Mexico: a Place for Family Fun in the Southern Rockies
    Red River, New Mexico: A Place for Family Fun in the Southern Rockies By Jim Fagan y wife and I have been to Red River Mseveral times for both summer and winter vacations. It has long been a favorite spot for Texans to escape the dreadful summer heat that is inevitable. Affordability and close proximity have always been major draws-not just to Texans. From our home in Denton (40 miles north of Dallas) we can be in Red River in less than twelve hours. Due to its small size and location slightly off the beaten path, Red River is sometimes overlooked by Texans looking for a mountain getaway. Since discovering snowshoeing in 2003, we made several brief trips to Red River to enjoy the superb powder in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Typically, we leave Denton and drive to Clayton, N.M. to spend the night. At an elevation of a little over 5,000 feet, it gives us a chance to relax and begin acclimating to the even thinner air in Red River. In the morning, we dress in snowshoeing togs to make the easy three-hour drive to Red River. On the way, we usually spot antelope on the peaceful drive toward beautiful Cimarron Canyon. Once out of the canyon, you enter the quaint little town of Eagle Nest. Take a right on Highway 38 and you are only eighteen miles from Red River. 1 INTRODUCING Atlas10 Series & Elektra 10 Series SNOWSHOES • Wrapp™ Comfort Bindings are ergonomically engineered for Trail Walking fit and support. • Spring-Loaded Suspension™ allows natural foot articulation and enhanced traction control on uneven terrain.

Fourteen girls at- tended and five were voted the best in the country to join the All American Team. They also came back to Questa with awards, including Best Team Technique Award and the Superior Trophy Award. Those attending the event were impressed because Questa was the smallest team represented and came from the smallest school, with less than 100 total students at the high school.
