Singletrack is special - We nurture it for you!
Here in Fruita we pride ourselves in a high standard of good use. Please abide by that while you're here, and we hope you carry the same "good use" ethic on your home turf. Some say "we dont have those issues where we live" I always respond with one word... "Yet". Abuse is abuse however you rationalize it, plants are worth letting live and trails are worth keeping open and narrow!
Fruita Singletrack Rules:
- Ride only in the Trails-No Off Trail Tracks
- Camp in designated sites only-No New Campsites
- Bring firewood or don't burn-No Firewood Cutting
- Don't tear up our trees-No Firewood Gathering
- If you accidentally make tracks in our soil-please erase your divots
- Uphill riders have right-of-way-unless trail is a one way loop (i.e. Horsethief goes clockwise, Zippity goes clockwise, Chutes goes clockwise)
The key to keeping Fruita pristine is YOU. Please spread the word that the desert soil is fragile, please help us stop the brutality on our 300+ year old Juniper trees (campfires are not that important). Please encourage the BLM to take up the cause of protecting our public lands (970-244-3000) sometimes they forget. And most importantly, be a land Advocate, the land can't speak for itself!
Good use...Ethics the truth of "good use" is really quite simple.
If we never are the first to track where there was not a track, we will be good users.
Cross Country travel is death to local plants and to existing trails and to our relationship with environmentalists and land managers.
