Mountain Trails supports the Leave No Trace program

Dogs on Trails

Please pack a bag or other means of picking up your little friends piles.  Please do your part to keep your trails free from those nasty little piles.

We're working with representatives from the City, County, Recreation District, Animal Control, and others to designate some leash-free trails.  Details will follow soon.  In the meantime, be aware that local ordinances require dogs to be on leashes at all times.  As a practical matter, just be aware of other users, and keep your dog under control.

If you have any comments, or would like to suggest good leash-free trails (or those you feel strongly should NOT be leash-free), please send us an e-mail (info@mountaintrails.org).  All comments will be considered.

Trail Etiquette

Most trails in the area are open for all non-motorized users, moving in both directions.  Please remember that all users should yield to horses, and cyclists should yield to those on foot.  When going downhill, yield to the uphill user (of the same type.)

We're often asked how we handle multiple use on our trails.  Happily, there are few problems here, since most users are very courteous.  Let's keep that trend going!  It's a nice gesture to move off the trail and allow another user to pass -- a practice which is pretty common around here.
