LODGE 66 TRAILS PROGRAM

Yah-Tah-Hey-Si-Kess, Order of the Arrow Lodge 66, undertook a trails program in 1991 for the Great Southwest Council. The objective of this program is to

Promote hiking and backpacking in the Council
Provide Council-wide information about trails used by units within the Council
Recognize those Scouts and Scouters who participate in a wide-range outdoor program

Two trails series have been implemented since that time. They are

Pecos Wilderness A series of trails in the Pecos Wilderness area of Northern New Mexico. Fourteen trails ranging in length from 13 to 47 mile long. This trails series was developed by Albuquerque Troop 285 in the early 1980's.

Veredas de las Montanas
(Trails of the Mountains) This series covers sixteen trails in the northern half of New Mexico and in southern Colorado. Some trails can be hiked by first year Scouts while others will require experienced backpackers.
