Year Adopted: 2024

What motivated you to adopt a trail?

“We were really excited for an opportunity to invest in public land while building connections within and beyond our group.”

What has been the most rewarding part of the AAT program?

 “Meeting new folks on a workday who became TTR regulars!”

What does your group do? What is your mission?

“We organize group trail runs with the mission of building an active and connected community through exploration of our public land.”

What are your hopes and goals for the 2025 trails season?

“Our goals for 2025 are to continue to grow the TTR group, learn about trail maintenance, and invest in trails.”

Favorite Trail? 

“It is impossible to choose just one! We love Trail 18 for flatter runs, Devisadero/North Boundary for steep runs, and of course the San Cristobal Canyon Trail.”

Favorite Tool?
