 Basic Trail Etiquette

  • Stay on the trail, follow trail signs and ensure you are on the correct trail for your mode of transportation.
  • Avoid widening trails by driving around obstacles. Do not create new trails. 
  • Slow down when approaching others. If traveling downhill, yield to uphill traffic.
  • Avoid using trails in wet or muddy conditions. 
  • Respect wildlife. When approaching a user on horseback, stop, turn off the engine and allow the horse to pass. 
  • Always carry out what you carry in. If you see trash on your journey, pack it out if you're able to do so.  

Stay Safe on The Trail

  • Know your ability and find a trail that suits your activity level.
  • Tell someone where you're going and what time you expect to be home. 
  • Water! Water! Water! Mesa County's high desert landscape can be relentless, especially in the warmer months. One half liter of water per person, per hour is a good guideline. But keep in mind, more strenuous activity and higher temperatures may warrant more.
