SHARE THE TRAIL

When trail conditions require a right of way

for safe passage, equestrian users have

the primary right of way, hikers next

and then mountain bikers. When trail

conditions allow and when there is width to

safely pass, common courtesy should prevail

for all users. Stand to one side of the trail

and allow them to pass. When in a group,

avoid blocking the trail. Mountain bikers

yield to all trail users. Anticipate other

trail users as you ride around corners.

Mountain bikers traveling downhill must yield

to all users, including other mountain bikers,

headed uphill. In general, make each pass a

safe and courteous one.

HAZARDS ON THE TRAIL

Rattlesnakes occasionally sun

themselves in the middle of the trail. If

encountered, keep your distance and

allow space for the snake to retreat.

Poison oak can be identified by groups

of 3 leaves going up the branch. It’s

best avoided by staying on the trail

and wearing long pants and long-

sleeved shirts to prevent contact with

skin.

Ticks are most often found in shaded,

grassy areas off the beaten path. Stick

to established trails and wear long

pants to avoid contact. Check for ticks

frequently, especially the scalp, waist

and other dark places where they can

hide.
