Please join us on a photo and map tour of the impact the we had on our community’s trails in 2023.

None of our trail successes would be possible without you; our volunteers, donors, partners and supporters. You make our trails great and our community a great place to live.

Between the Trail Conservation Crew, Adopt A Trail teams, Trail Ambassadors, volunteer trail crews, and Soul Dirt…we had a pretty busy and successful year!  Please check out our StoryMap from the 2023 trail season and celebrate our collective successes together.

Check out the most current trail conditions before heading out this Spring. We do our best to update trail conditions but we need your help to let our community know what you see out there.  Please provide any trail condition beta to the sources below:

All three of these are only successful with you, the trails community letting others know what you are seeing out there!

Home to the teachers on the trail – our volunteers educate and communicate with trail users about sustainable outdoor recreation practices.

Do your part and play a critical role in helping educate trail users that promotes the safety, enjoyment, and preservation of our trails. With the ever growing increase in outdoor recreation, it is more important than ever to have volunteers who can interact with trail users, answer questions, and provide guidance on how to minimize the impact on the environment.

If you have a passion for making a positive impact on the community and environment while also enjoying the beauty of our trails, apply today.  Trail Ambassadors will be educating trail users on how to recreate and “Respect the Vail Valley”
