Your generosity helps protect and preserve the San Luis Valley’s nearly 9,000 square miles of public lands. San Luis Valley Great Outdoors is raising $30,000 to maintain the trail equipment, field trucks, and OHV fleet essential to keeping our outdoor spaces accessible and thriving.

With more frequent extreme weather events increasing trail repair needs and restricted grant funding, community support has never been more important. Every donation makes a difference, from fueling work trucks to maintaining essential equipment.

Give during Colorado Gives Day, November 2–December 8, 2026, and help ensure these treasured lands remain healthy and accessible for future generations. Together, we make stewardship possible!

The GOATs are finishing the season strong! 🐐Following historic rainfall and flooding across the region, Penitente Canyon experienced severe trail washouts and increased erosion. Our crew is tackling emergency trail repairs that go beyond filling ruts. By improving drainage, rebuilding eroded tread, and promoting soil retention, the GOATs are working to restore safe passage while reducing future erosion and protecting the surrounding landscape.🌲

Our crew is assessing trail damage following the recent historic rainfall and flooding across Southwest Colorado and the San Luis Valley.

Please stay safe and avoid flooded trailhead access roads and trails until water levels recede and trail conditions have had time to dry out. Flooded areas can be dangerous, and saturated trails are especially vulnerable to additional damage.

Thanks for helping us protect our trails and keep everyone safe! 🌧️🏔️

A healthy season for trails in the SLV! 🌿🥾

Did you know Southwest Conservation Corps contributed over 5,000 hours of work on Bureau of Land Management trails in the San Luis Valley this season?

Through our partnership with Southwest Conservation Corps, SLV GO! helped coordinate and oversee trail projects across the valley. From new trail construction to essential maintenance, SCC & GOAT crews put in the work to keep our trails in great shape. Penitente Canyon, Stone Quarry, Limekiln, Pronghorn, and Greenie Mountain all received some well-deserved love!

A huge thank you to the crews and our partners at the BLM for making this work possible and keeping our public lands ready for adventure! ⛰️

Check out some of the ongoing improvements at the Toivo Malm Trail Network in Alamosa! 🌲
Our Stewardship Crew recently completed 80 feet of puncheon construction to help improve trail durability and accessibility through a boggy, flood-prone section.
Seasonal flooding has caused some delays, but we’re excited to keep making progress! The crew will continue extending the puncheon structure and installing hardened surfaces to create a more resilient trail for years to come.
More progress to come! 🥾🔨

The work looks a little different lately, but the goal is the same: improving the landscape. 🪵🦫
This month, the crew installed B.D.A.s (Beaver Dam Analogs) and P.A.L.S. (Pole-Assisted Log Structures). These structures are designed to mimic the natural processes created by beavers and accumulated woody debris.
By slowing and redirecting water, these structures can increase water storage on the floodplain, improve floodplain connectivity, reduce erosive flows, and create more diverse aquatic and riparian habitat.
Over the last 2 weeks, the GOATs installed 23 structures on Miners Creek and 30 structures on Beaver Creek - 53 structures in total helping restore natural stream processes.
A big thank you to our partners, Rio Grande Headwaters Restoration Project, Bird Conservancy of the Rockies & USFS, for creating these opportunities for the GOATs to get on the ground, put restoration into action, and help improve the health and resilience of our watersheds. 🦫🌲

We sent a disposable camera with the Moto Crew on their 8-day backcountry work hitch as they built a motorized single track re-route on Pole Creek trail! 📸
Here are a few moments from the trail, captured on film! 🌲⛏️
