Cibola Trail Alliance

The Mt. Taylor Ranger District's approval for the Lobo Canyon Trail will facilitate the construction of 23.8 miles of non-motorized multi-use trail, promoting outdoor recreation and connectivity among the Continental Divide Trail, Lobo Canyon Picnic Area, and Coal Mine Campground. This initiative is expected to enhance local tourism, boost community engagement in outdoor activities, and foster environmental stewardship.

The Lobo Canyon Trails Project in the Mount Taylor Ranger District of the Cibola National Forest aims to develop a 23-mile non-motorized trail system that will enhance recreational options and strengthen the local economy by drawing tourism. Catering to various skill levels, the stacked loop trail targets year-round usability, connecting key sites including the Continental Divide Trailhead and Coal Mine Campground. This project not only improves access to outdoor activities for Cibola County residents, but also supports sustainable tourism and growth in the region's outdoor recreation sector.
