Story behind the song
All year the kids have worked on improving and reparing the trail.
Lyrics
Chorus
Quemazon, Quemazon
Work on Quemazon Trail
High above Los Alamos
Fix up Quemazon Trail
Sixth Grade kids from Mountain School
Bring shovel, pick, and pail
Quemazon, Quemazon
On the Quemazon Trail
Verse 1
Bluebirds in a lonely pine
Sing in harmony
Cheat grass tries to sneak a hold
Beside an aspen tree
Gamble Oak and Turkey Foot
A deer with her young fawn
High above Los Alamos
We’re on Quemazon
Verse 2
Pine cones spread on rocky slopes
There’s a burned out tree
A lizard chases little bugs
I hope he won’t chase me
Traffic in the town below
Moves without a sound
Quemazon, Quemazon
This is special ground
