FooMTB hits the Trails - The place where things happen!

FooMTB is organized around a structure that focuses on the various Land Agencies and the Trails that they support. We promote all activities associated with Trail Development and Maintenance. Many of the projects listed below are not "FooMTB Initiated" but are promoted to improve their effectiveness. Our Motto is: "We're not here to steal anyone's thunder, but to make that thunder louder. Together we can all shine brighter."

With any Trail building activity, please protect and take care of yourself! Consider the activity you are undertaking and the conditions that exist. Wear comfortable clothing, sturdy shoes, a hat, sunglasses and gloves. Bring sunblock, plenty of water and a light lunch or snack.

Albuquerque Open Space

FooMTB Trail Partners is proud of the long established relationship we have had with the Albuquerque Open Space. We support the Adoptive Trail Program and additional Projects that they undertake.
  • ABQ Open Space - Foo-ville Foo-Loop Projects


  • FooMTB has completed a 2009 project to establish a Switchback Trail on the South Knob of Foo-ville (base of our Adopted Trail). We call it the South Knob Switchbacks, or SKS for short. Check out the pictures at the Foo Photo Album.

    For 2010 FooMTB will be working on the "Rollicking Rock Connector" in the Foo-ville Basin.

    Join us for the second building session on Sat. April 24th at 9:00AM. We will be meeting at the Camino de la Sierra Trailhead.

  • Golden (La Madera) Sessions

  • These are the Golden (La Madera) Sessions that have been established for 2009. All dates are Saturday Morning and we plan to meet at the Tijeras Ranger Station Parking lot at 8:00AM. Work begins out in Golden at 9:00AM. The first Loop has been completed and work has begun on the Arroyo Canyon Trail. Come on out and be a part of developing this scenic area!

Continental Divide Trail Alliance

We will be promoting Trail Building Sessions on the Continental Divide Trail in accordance with the objectives of IMBA to support the establishment of this trail where possible. You can find out more about this trail at the CDT Page. Here are some sessions we will be involved in.
  • Summer Session is being planned - Cumbres Pass Trail 813 (CDT).
    We have established a relationship with Rob Santoro who is a Recreational Specialist with the Rio Grande National Forest and also represents the Volunteers for Outdoors Colorado.. We have completed the preliminary survey of the lower section of the Trail 813 and mapped the old route.

    We have also cleared about 6 miles of a newer "Official Route". You can now ride a beautiful 12 mile out and back, with a spur route up into an expansive Meadow at around 11,000'. Please consider joining us for the Sessions to the Cumbres Pass in Southern Colorado.
