Off to Picacho Peak from the Cerro Gordo Trail
Twelve City Summer Campers and two counselors from the Genoveva Chavez Community Center hiked up to Picacho Peak on June 9, the first field trip for kids to make it to the top! Campers received hiking kits provided through support from the S.L Gimbel Foundation and earned their “Dale Ball trails – North” sticker for the Passport to Santa Fe’s Foothill Trails. Thanks to the City of Santa Fe’s Recreation Division for helping to get more kids out on our trails.
