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 five 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).
- Printed and Kindle/ebook editions of the guidebook.
- 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.
- 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. So at the Santa Fe Ski Basin, Panchuela, Santa Barbara Campground, Forest Road 442, at the beginning of the Connector, Forest Road 438, the 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 $1,500 of the costs for stocking the members’ resupply.
If you would like to donate gear to the resupply, please contact us at contact@santafetotaos.org.
