New trails coming to mancos: Aqueduct trail system

5/9/2021

1 Comment

 
We have some exciting news from this winter - while our trails were resting under a (not quite deep enough) blanket of snow, two new trail systems were approved for local public lands! More about the new Chicken Creek Trails in our next update, but for now, we'd like to introduce the...​

Aqueduct Trail System
Located just 2 miles NW of town, this will be an 11.7 mile system of new multi-use singletrack trail open to non-motorized users plus ebikes. Eventually when the Paths to Mesa Verde project connecting Mancos with Mesa Verde National Park is completed, you'll be able to access the Aqueduct area using just trails and County Road 39. With its easy access, this will be a wonderful addition to our community.

On Saturday May 15 at 9:00 am, Mancos Trails Group will hold an orientation and (we hope!) work day at the Aqueduct. If you're interested in helping make this new trail system come to life, and want to join us for activities on the 15th, please RSVP to mancostrailsgroup@gmail.com. Space is limited so RSVP will be required.

Details:
  • The first 2 hours will be an orientation to the area followed a BLM safety session. 
  • For location see map below for "Proposed Parking" east of County Road 39, or map to: 37.35878, -108.33445
  • The trailhead is not yet constructed so if you are on the list to attend, please try to carpool.
  • Trail work will be dependent on trail alignment being approved in advance and having sufficient crew leaders. If there is not trailwork to be completed, we will hike part of the trail system.
  • If you plan to stay for the trail work, please wear sturdy boots, long pants, sunglasses or safety glasses, work gloves and bring raingear.
  • Tools will be provided.
  • Bring lots of water and your own lunch. Although we will have water jugs and a few trail snacks at the start, we will not be able to host a social after the event. (We hope to continue the practice in the future and some may head to the Mancos Brewery afterwards.)
