Los Alamos County

This project involves upgrading a half-mile section of trail to an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Certified crusher fine surface, using US Forest Service standards to enhance outdoor accessibility. The desired outcomes include improved access for individuals with disabilities and increased opportunities for community engagement in natural spaces.

The Bayo Canyon Trailhead project intends to convert an underused entry point into a safe, accessible, and inclusive entry to the trail systems of Los Alamos County. By addressing the current inadequate parking and safety conditions with enhanced facilities like ADA-compliant spaces, trailer accommodations, and amenities like vault toilets and picnic tables, the project aims to support increased visitation and diverse recreational use. Additionally, the undertaking supports sustainable recreation and fosters community health, aligning with the county's overall objective of boosting public safety, promoting inclusive recreation, and enriching public spaces.
