The Turquoise Trail Preservation Trust (TTPT) was established to:
Preserve the intrinsic character and enhance enjoyment of the Turquoise Trail National Scenic Byway.

To accomplish our vision, we will engage, educate and partner with residents, governmental agencies, elected officials and organizations (historic, preservation, civic, business, etc).

Potential future partnerships: East Mountain Historical Society, Cerrillos Historical Society, Friends of the Sandia Mountains
