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 plans to develop a 23-mile non-motorized trail system in the Mount Taylor Ranger District of the Cibola National Forest & National Grasslands, near Grants, New Mexico. This planned expansion, providing an array of trail experiences, is expected to increase outdoor recreation access, stimulate tourism, support local businesses, and promote the outdoor recreation sector in the region. The resulting sustainable tourism and recreational use are anticipated to enhance the local community's economic vitality.
