<\/a>Vision & Mission<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Southern New Mexico Trail Alliance was formed by hikers, trail runners, and mountain bikers that are enthusiastic about trails and the lands where they exist. This group realized we must maintain and protect what we love, hence SNMTA was formed in 2014. SNMTA recognizes that our vision and mission cannot be accomplished by one person or one organization, but an alliance of different users, organizations, and land managers working together to improve and protect trails and lands. Together we can connect people to the trails and in the process maintain and build these same trails and bring our community a little closer together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To achieve the vision and mission, the alliance will create partnerships with groups of common interest in trails, outdoor recreation, healthy living and sustainable community development. Through these partnerships; inspire, motivate, and lead communities to preserve, develop, maintain, and promote the use of trails and outdoor recreation. Provide a central resource for all things involving trails including: events, volunteer trail work, fundraising for trails, trail maps and guides, and trail, recreation and conservation policies. Foster trail use and connectivity by helping groups and the public direct trail events and link existing and new trail systems together. Through these connections and partnerships, show the links between communities and the environment around them, self powered travel, exercise, healthy living, the outdoors and quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
