Rocky Mountain Youth Corps, Taos, was in Pilar and the Orilla Verde Recreation Area today improving the Sendo del Medio Trailheads. This trail is accessible from Orilla Verde, Rio Bravo, Arroyo Hondo, and Petaca campgrounds. This is a beautiful and easy to medium difficulty trail which follows the length of the river. Various vista points offer beautiful views of the river as well as of Petaca canyon. Between Arroyo Hondo and Orilla Verde Campgrounds there is a section which involves some light boulder scrambling that some might choose to avoid. However the majority of the trail is easily negotiable, well constructed, and very scenic.
We thank Rocky Mountain Youth Corps for their continued hard work in the Gorge and in the Recreation Area which is open to the public. A $3.00 parking fee payable to the BLM applies. Each campground has a self service station where visitors can pay the fee and procure a parking ticket.
Rocky Mountain Youth Corps crew was invited to the Pilar Yacht Club (758-9072) to enjoy free ice cream cones in acknowledgement of the many improvement they have made in this recreation area.
