WELCOME
These trails are our home, enjoy them and treat them with respect. DON’T WRECK YOURSELF: The elevation in town is 6,512 feet and it only goes up from there. Bring water, wear sunscreen and a helmet. DON’T WRECK THE TRAILS: Pack out all trash. In fact, if you see rubbish along the way, pack that out too. If you happen to be here on the uncommon rainy day, do not ride wet trails because it creates ruts that bake into the clay and hang around all season long. Most importantly, stay on the established trails. DON’T WRECK OTHER TRAIL USERS: While the trails are not directional, we included a few of the locally preferred directions. These recommondations can help maximize both safety and enjoyment. Keep your dog under control: Don’t let it chase wildlife. Pick up after it, and don’t leave poo bags along the trails or at the trailhead. Don’t let your pet get in front of bikers. Always yield to uphill travelers. For current trail conditions, visit: www.durangotrails.org/trail-conditions.

WELCOME TO DURANGO TRAILS!
coffee • tea • pastries • beer • toast
Your area trails deserve your love and respect. Please remember these trail ethics: R E S P E C T T H E L A N D S C A P E : Stay on the Trail S H A R E T H E T R A I L : Be Nice. Say Hi B E I N C O N T R O L : Speed, inattentiveness and rudeness are the primary sources of trail conflict among user groups. If you need to pass, slow down, ring a bell or verbally announce yourself, and wait until the other trail user is out of the path. P L A N A H E A D : Be prepared and self-sufficient M I N D T H E W I L D L I F E A N D Y O U R P E T : When it comes to wildlife, live and let live and don’t disturb the wildlife. Please keep your pets on leash; the trails are busy and your off-leash pet can cause problems for you, other trail users or wild animals.
