County Trail Days 2016 - Get Up. Get Out. Get Moving.

Get Up. Get Out. Get Moving.

Connecting you to the Outdoor Treasures of Santa Fe County.

 

Santa Fe County Open Space, Trails, and Parks are located in your backyard and we want you to get outside and enjoy them this year. This is the second year for this series of free trail events and we hope you will enjoy the outdoor treasures of Santa Fe County. Santa Fe County and Santa Fe County Trail Stewards have collaborated to bring you an amazing series of FREE events at a variety of Santa Fe County properties during the month of April. These events (see full schedule below) are designed to be low impact and casual – to help everyone Get Up. Get Out. Get Moving. All you need for these great events are some comfortable walking shoes and a water bottle. Join us for some fun and easy outdoor activity to help you familiarize yourself with the properties, learn basic trail etiquette, and more! You can attend one of the events or all of them.
