FOR TRAIL USERS: IMPORTANT HUNTING SEASON INFORMATION...PLEASE CLICK HERE! Before venturing out into the forest and backcountry be sure that you are familiar with current weather conditions and forest regulations. Each visitor should study the information on the trailhead bulletin board and/or go into the Forest Service office at 680 Blue River Parkway in Silverthorne to obtain the latest copy of the RECREATION OPPORTUNITY GUIDE (ROG) before heading out on any particular trail. TIPS FOR MOUNTAIN BIKERS: Always wear a helmet and control your bike at all times. Downhill riders must yield to uphill riders. Slow down and use caution when approaching or overtaking another rider. Always control speed, unexpected obstacles may appear suddenly. Ride on marked trails only; treat the land with care and respect. Avoid damaging the fragile alpine environment and trails, especially when raining or wet. Always be prepared for sudden afternoon thunder or snowstorms with adequate rain gear, warm clothing and plenty of food and water. Be careful not to accidentally leave any litter along the way, including cigarette butts. Always be careful with fire - a camp stove is the preferred method for cooking in the backcountry. REMEMBER - NO VEHICLES ARE ALLOWED IN WILDERNESS AREAS! The best way you can help the land survive is to challenge yourself to make the least possible impact on the land.
