Trails Not Available

Dec 12, 2025

We want to remind everyone that we currently do NOT have any trails listed as available on the ITG.

We are working towards that goal but still need some time.
Please remember that you are trespassing any time you are using a trail that is not designated as available and these selfish actions can have very real world consequences for our trail network.
 
Those of us that have spent the past few months working to set up for the season are 1000 times more excited than anyone else that it looks like we’re going to be able to get moving very soon.
 
When trails aren’t marked as safe and available, just remember that there is likely a good reason for that.
