Trail Stewardship Opportunities

We believe that users of trails have an important stewardship for the trails they use. In the Cedar Valley and Lake Mountain areas, we have some amazing trail opportunities, generously provided by private owners, Federal and State agencies, and local cities. By partnering with them in productive ways, we can expand our opportunities, preserve our trails, and improve their quality. Our vision is to help our area become a world-class destination for trail users. 

Trail Maintenance

Trail Advocacy

During the Spring-Fall, we do regular trail maintenance work. Here are details:

TRAILWORK TUESDAYS

Come join us for any or all of any night. Check out our trail work calendar or Facebook page for info.

TRAIL WORK CALENDAR
Coming soon.

It's important that we use our voice to support the building, maintenance, and improvement of our local trails. These trails add so much economic and quality of life opportunities for our communities and even our region. We actively work with local corporations, agencies, cities, and other groups to advocate for positive development and management of trails.

Trail Etiquette

We teach trail etiquette. We'll be hosting a trail etiquette class during Trails week, and also putting up some great trail etiquette videos. Check back for more information.

Trail Building 

Dirt Devils

Trails require someone to build and maintain them. Many of our trails were lovingly built over the years by volunteers. We're grateful for their contribution and want to continue building trails in our area. To be able to do this, we have to work with land managers/owners to design, build, sign, and maintain our trails.

There will be trail building opportunities coming up. These will be specific, official, and sanctioned projects. We'll let you know when they are and would love to have your involvement. There will be a lot of opportunities for this in the next 5 years, as we continue to plan and design new trails throughout the area in conjunction with the city, BLM, SITLA, and other land owners/managers.

TO BE CLEAR: We DO NOT support unsanctioned trail building. This means any building of trails that is done without specific, explicit permission from the land owner/manager.

This is our new trail stewardship program for those who want to earn rewards, learn etiquette, learn trail building skills, and have fun together taking care of our trails. We will be opening this program in 2022 and hope you will join us! Details to come.

#Trailsweek

#Trailsweek is our annual trails celebration week. This is the week of Earth day (April 22), and we do a number of activities, contests, etc to encourage more love for our trails. It culminates in a big trail trash cleanup on April 24th! See our Trail Therapy Day page about that event.
