Here is an interesting annual event that doesn't get that much publicity outside of the southern NM region. Even though it's held in the spring, before hot weather arrives, it's still a grueling ordeal for those who run or walk the entire marathon distance of 26 miles. It's nothing like running on paved streets even though there is a roughly graded "track" through very rocky terrain.
Come and celebrate the kick-off of hiking season on the Continental Divide Trail at Continental Divide Trail Days, April 15th thru 17th in Silver City! There will be presentations, gear giveaways, music and, of course, hiking!
Here's an event this coming weekend - April 9, 2016 - that I just learned about from an article in the Ruidoso News. Not sure why I haven't known about this before now. Apparently those who are more involved in competitive cycling knew of the event since it's already closed to entrants. But everyone is free to ride the many miles of trails in the area anytime, year around!
For those not aware of the numerous opportunities for off-road bicycling in the Sacramento Mountains, there are numerous web sites with information. Small sampling:
This weekend marks the beginning of National Park Week and all national park units will be admission-free for the week starting Saturday. Come out and enjoy one of the 14 National Parks and Monuments in New Mexico for free!

After what has been called the windiest, driest and warmest March in 122 years, April kicked off with a light snowfall and has been wetter than any recent April to date, hopefully meaning plenty of May flowers.
