Family Volunteer Events & Activities
CDTA Family Volunteer Adventures Program sponsored by Coleman
Join the Continental Divide Trail Alliance on a family trail building project for ages 10 and above. This is a wonderful way to have a shared experience in nature and make volunteering on the CDT a family tradition as you camp, hike, and work as a team. In 2009, families can join CDTA on the following projects:
- Mesa Portales, Rio Puerco BLM, NM, April 12
- Mount Taylor, Cibola NF, May 1-3
- Clear Creek III, Pike San Isabel NF, August 8
