Adopt A Trail
About Adopt A Trail
The VVMTA launched the Adopt A Trail (AAT) program in 2016 with 30 local volunteer teams adopting 30 trails to maintain. Since then, the program has grown to include over 60 volunteer teams adopting 50+ trails across all land managers in Eagle County that are maintained by an army of local volunteer trail stewards.
Adopt A Trail volunteers are the heart and soul of VVMTA, and their boots-on-the-ground contributions ensure our trails are well-maintained. These committed trail stewards care for the trails we know and love – do you want to be one of them? These volunteers complete 2-3 trail work events per season on their adopted trail with colleagues, friends, family, and peers, ensuring trails are maintained to improve the environment and trail user experience. Can you imagine flying down your favorite mountain bike trail or enjoying your morning hike knowing you put in the sweat equity to make it even better? Trust us, you’ll love it, and never look at your trail the same way.
You can see the full list of trails adopted and Adopt A Trail teams here. These are the people, businesses, and organizations that truly make this program possible and ensure we continue to have a great experience out on our trails!
