Responsible Riding Tips

  1. Be Prepared
    Know your equipment, your ability, the weather, and the area you are riding and prepare accordingly. A well-planned ride will go smoothly for you and your companions.
  2. Don’t Ride On Closed Trails
    Whether it is to protect the environment or for rider safety, a closed trail is off limits for a reason. Riding closed trails is not only illegal; it gives mountain bikers a bad reputation. View the list of current trail closures.
  3. Respect the Trail, Wildlife and Environment
    Be sensitive to the trail and its surroundings by riding softly and never skidding. Do not litter and never scare animals.
  4. Stay On the Trail
    Do not intentionally ride off trail. Riding off trail can damage the ecosystem. Never cut switchbacks.
  5. Ride Slowly On Crowded Trails
    Just like a busy highway, when trails are crowded you must move slowly to ensure safety for all trail users.
  6. Pass With Courtesy and Care
    Slow down when approaching other trail users and respectfully make others aware you are approaching. Pass with care and be prepared to stop if necessary.
  7. Share the Trail With Other Trail Users
    Mountain bikers, hikers, trail runners, trials motorbikes and equestrians must share multi-use trails. Remember: mountain bikers should yield to hikers and equestrians.
  8. Don’t Do Unauthorized Trailwork
    Unauthorized or illegal trailwork may lead to environmental damage, injury or even potential trail closure. Don’t change a trail just because you don’t like it or can’t ride it. Send us an email if you have a trail issue.
  9. Get Involved
