Become a SF2T Member
Services, support, and information so you have a fantastic time on your thru-hike.
Membership includes:
- Access to the Members’ Resupply in Tres Ritos (roughly the half-way point of the thru-hike), so you can:
- Ship yourself a box or drop off your box in Santa Fe or at the resupply.
- Access to the “Wilderness Store” at the resupply, so if you need gear, food, fuel, batteries, medical supplies, gear repair items, or even a fishing pole, just take what you need and Venmo for the cost of the item later.
- The ability to request things to be delivered to the resupply for when you arrive, like fresh food, specific gear or personal care items, etc.
- Note that there are no public services or stores anywhere along the route of the thru-hike between Santa Fe and Taos, with the exception of the *very* limited, not thru-hiker-specific items at the Sipapu store, which is a 2-mile walk down a highway with a narrow shoulder. The SF2T resupply is by far your best bet to get things once you’re started your trek.
- Eligibility to use one of the ten parking passes, so you can park for free for two weeks plus at a church parking lot 1.2 miles from Santa Fe Plaza (in a safe part of town, too).
- The most recent printed and Kindle/ebook editions of the guidebook. So if you’re a member during the time when I release a new edition of the guidebook or the gpx file, you will get an email asking if you want the new edition. Just respond and confirm you want the updated edition, and it will be sent to you for free as part of your membership fee.
- The enhanced gpx file with water sources, camp sites, parking locations, cell service, and other important information marked on and by the route. Can be imported into almost any navigation app. Tested in AllTrails, OnX, Garmin, Strava, Gaia, and CalTopo. Free updates when new versions of the enhanced gpx are released.
- Trail support if you get in a pinch, including coordinating pickups at trailheads if necessary.
- Email support to get all your questions answered.
- Early notifications about alternate routes.
- If necessary (and for an extra charge) the ability to request items to be brought to you at certain points along the route. Those “certain points” would be the Santa Fe Ski Basin, Panchuela Campground/Trailhead, Santa Barbara Campground, Forest Road 442, Forest Road 439a/Trail 124, at the beginning of the Connector, along Forest Road 438, Rio Chiquito Campground, Rio Chiquito Bridge, the entrance to Drake Canyon etc.
- An information packet with a 11×17 summary + all six sections map set, sticker, bookmarks, and postcards set.
- Special things that will just have to be a surprise. 😉
Please join at least two weeks before you need access to the resupply. While I can accommodate quick turnarounds most of the time, if I am out on trail, I may not be able to get information – much less materials – to you as quickly as you’d like.
Memberships are good for 365 days after purchase.
The Santa Fe to Taos Thru- Hike is a registered 501(c)(3) organization, so your membership is tax-deductible. All memberships come with heaping portions of gratitude, and spur ongoing improvements for the thru-hike and projects that help people, wildlife, trails, the forests, and the watersheds. We greatly appreciate a generous donation from the Brown-Hoover Fund, which covers (among other things) the rent and most of the costs for stocking the members’ resupply.
We lose money on memberships at this price
Just to pick up a box and bring it to the resupply costs $134.80. That’s calculated with a value of $29.55 per volunteer hour for three hours driving and dropping the box off plus $44.90 in car costs for gas and wear and tear on the car for 64 miles roundtrip from Santa Fe.
And that’s just getting the box to the resupply. That doesn’t include paying for the resupply rent and outfitting, creating and shipping the information folders, the UPS box, parking costs, and more.
The actual cost to deliver these services is $214.97 per member.
Please consider donating to support our work. If you would like to donate gear to the resupply, please contact us at contact@santafetotaos.org.
