The future of riding opportunities depends on YOU!
Protect your right to ride.
Respect the land, the wildlife, and the rights of others.
Ride Responsibly.
Be legal.
Set an example by complying with all equipment and licensing requirements.
Educate Yourself, Your Family and Friends.
It's your responsibility to know the rules in the area you are riding,
but don't forget your friends.
- Are they legal?
- Do they know the rules?
- Do you know where your friends are riding?
Use Open Routes Only.
Respect trail, road, and area closures.
Stay off private land unless you have permission from the landowner.
Leave No Trace.
Stay off trails when your use will leave ruts and impact the trail tread, such as
during very wet or dry conditions.
Roosting creates ruts, erodes soil, and increases maintenance.
Cutting donuts in the roads annoys other Forest visitors and makes all dual
sporters look like "hot doggers."
Use the designated play areas for "Attitude Adjustment" and
high impact riding, not the trails.
Pack out at least as much as you pack in.
Always Yield The Trail To Other Users.
Show your respect when meeting others by slowing down or stopping altogether.
All roads are two-way, anticipate that other users may be around the next corner.
Even brief inattention can cause disaster for you or others.
Excessive speed threatens other users.
Never Spook Horses, Cattle, or Wildlife.
All animals are startled by an unannounced approach,
a sudden movement, or a loud noise.
Give animals extra room and time to adjust to you.
In passing, follow the direction of horseback riders (ask if uncertain).
Do not assume that cattle will move off the trail
or continue in their current direction.
Approach then very slowly.
If you open a gate, please close it securely after you pass through.
Educate Others.
Those who break the rules and don't ride responsibly
are threatening YOUR riding opportunities.
We need your help.
Talk to them and educate them.
They will listen to you as a fellow rider.
Plan ahead. Know your equipment, your ability, current conditions, and prepare
accordingly. Be self-sufficient, keep your equipment in good repair, and carry
necessary supplies for changes in the weather or other conditions. A
well-executed trip is a satisfaction to you and not a burden or offense to others.
