This year, the Zuni Youth Enrichment Project joined with the Zuni Education and Career Development Center, Catena Foundation, New Mexico Department of Health, Zuni Health and Wellness Coalition, and a dedicated youth crew to conclude a significant expansion of a community trail system in the Pueblo of Zuni. They added the 4.5-mile Bluebird Trail and the 3.5-mile Mountain Bluebird Trail, established 11 trailheads, added 48 safety signs, and developed 40 additional mileage and wayfinding signs.
Zuni Youth Enrichment Project and the Zuni Health & Wellness Coalition established the original trail system in 2014. With the addition of the two new routes, the network now comprises more than 60 miles of trails. Eleven distinct routes connect to most residential neighborhoods, allowing thousands of pueblo residents to walk, jog, run, and bike safely. The trails are open free to the public for exercise and recreation.
