Trail use guidelines

  • Trails are open from dawn until dusk
  • No camping
  • No fires
  • Only use designated trails marked on a map or with trail signage
  • Avoid using "social trails", also known as "renegade trails", which are user-created. Individuals over the course of time repeatedly trample vegetation, resulting in bare ground resembling a trail
  • Respect trail closures and restoration areas
  • No littering: "Pack it in, pack it out"
  • Leave No Trace
  • Dogs must be on a leash
  • Be respectful of other users
  • All other campus policies apply
  • Report any signs of erosion or degradation to Ryan Wong at rwong2@uccs.edu.

Leave No Trace Ethic

Campus Recreation and its Trails Program encourage the UCCS and surrounding community trail users to adhere to both the “Leave No Trace (LNT) ethic” and “Mountain Biking Code of Conduct”, ensuring the preservation of trail quality while maximizing the natural and outdoor experience. LNT includes the seven principles listed below when exploring the outdoors and on-campus trails system. The member-driven Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics teaches others how to enjoy the outdoors responsibly.

  • Plan ahead and prepare
  • Travel and camp on durable surfaces
  • Dispose of waste properly
  • Leave what you find
  • Minimize campfire impacts
  • Respect wildlife
  • Be considerate of other visitors

Mountain biking code of conduct

  • It is the responsibility of the rider to maintain a safe operating speed and be able to stop at the limit of the rider’s distance of sight. Try to anticipate other trail users as you ride when riding around corners.
  • Indicate to fellow trail users you’re within the vicinity:
    an audible greeting
    a bell ring
    indicate how you plan on passing the user – “to your left”
