Emergency Plan

Emergency Plan

The trek will have doctors and nurses on the trail 24/7 to provide minor medical services and first aid when needed. 

The entire trek route is accessible to vehicles if emergency medical transportation is necessary. The Forest Service Ranger, Cibola County Sheriff’s Office and Search and Rescue will be notified of our plan and locations. Cell phone service is available near the highway just a couple miles from the trek location in the event emergency personnel are needed or parents need to be contacted. We will have radios among staff and medical personnel on the trek. The nearest medical facility is 14 miles from the trek location in Grants, NM. Larger medical facilities are located in Albuquerque, NM approximately 1.5 hours from the trek location.
