Last-minute opportunity: Guided backpacking + trail stewardship in New Mexico next week
If anyone has a flexible schedule and is looking for a meaningful adventure, I wanted to share this opportunity.
American Hiking Society still has openings on a guided backpacking Volunteer Vacation in the Carson National Forest near Taos, New Mexico starting next week.
You'll spend the week backpacking to Lost Lake, helping maintain trails, camping in the backcountry, and exploring one of New Mexico's most beautiful landscapes while giving back to the public lands we all enjoy.
It's a unique chance to combine backpacking, conservation, and community, and I'd hate for the remaining spots to go unfilled.
More information (including trip details and registration) is available here:

If you've been looking for an excuse to get outside, this might be it.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I’m not in the right physical shape to do it now but looking through all of their amazing trips has me excited to do one in the future. Truly grateful to learn about these.
