Cibola Trail Alliance (CTA) and it's donors found out that a mini excavator that they purchased for trail building this summer was a stolen piece equipment. The CTA's board worked tirelessly to raise money to purchase a small trail building machine to help them complete 19 miles of multiuse single-track trails, they have been working on this past two years. CTA has hosted several fundraisers to help them obtain funds to buy a machine. This summer they found a machine they could afford and went to purchase it for $12,300. On October 10, 2023, CTA was contacted by NM State Police and found out that the purchased machine was stolen prior to being sold to CTA. The excavator is a key tool to the success of finishing the Lobo Canyon Trails Project. Any help would be greatly appreciated to help us get an excavator to continue our quest to building our trails in our community.

Cibola Trail Alliance

The Cibola Trail Alliance (CTA) is a non-profit organization focused on developing and maintaining multi-use trails in the Mt. Taylor Ranger District of the Cibola National Forest.

The CTA is made up of residents in Cibola County, New Mexico, coming together to support something we love: the outdoors. Our organization includes hikers, cyclists, runners, all terrain vehicles and horseback riders.

Currently, the CTA hosts a variety of outdoor meetups, including group hikes, bike rides and even snowshoeing. We are also gearing up to build multi use trails east of the Grants Ridge. We invite anyone who can contribute to our cause to join us at our next meeting or event.
