THERE’S STILL A LONG WAY TO GO, BUT THE RIO GRANDE TRAIL IS STARTING TO TAKE SHAPE IN NEW MEXICO. IT’S HOPED THAT ONE DAY THE TRAIL WILL STRETCH ALMOST 500 MILES, FROM COLORADO ON THE NORTH TO TEXAS ON THE SOUTH.
ON TUESDAY IN TAOS, GOVERNOR MARTINEZ DESIGNATED 60 MILES OF THE TRAIL WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE RIO GRANDE DEL NORTE NATIONAL MONUMENT. THAT BRINGS TO 87 THE TOTAL NUMBER OF MILES DESIGNATED FOR THE TRAIL TO THIS POINT.
THE GOVERNOR SAYS THE RIO GRANDE TRAIL HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE A SIGNIFICANT ECONOMIC DRIVER FOR NEW MEXICO.
