Multi-Use Trail Etiquette: Remember that bikers yield to hikers and that both hikers and bikers yield to equestrians.

• Speak courteously and call out appropriately to others.  Give them time to react after you alert them to your presence, and NEVER assume they know you are approaching.
• Stay on the trail! Creating your own paths, using unmarked trails or creating switchbacks creates erosion, damages habitat and could lead to illegal trespassing.
• Respect others; expect other users.  When in doubt, give others the right of way.
• Keep your ears open for approaching trail users.  If using headphones, keep the volume low or use one earbud.
• Don’t assume your fellow trail users know trail etiquette – they may be new to trail use and still learning.  If someone acts in error, be kind and courteous in suggesting a correction, stressing safe shared trail use.  Be an ambassador for trail etiquette, not an enforcer.
