Our mission:

We build and steward a vibrant and diverse trail system that connects our communities, supports a thriving economy, encourages outdoor recreation, and fosters appreciation for the natural world.

We envision:

● Connected Communities

We envision villages connected by shared-use paths, where people of all ages and abilities choose safe, human-powered transportation for commuting and recreation.

● World-Class Recreation

● Human-Powered, Multi-Use

We imagine our valley as a renowned nature-centered destination where recreational opportunities support our community and economy.

We work towards interconnected trails, where one can go for a loop, an all-day, or a multi-day adventure without having to get into a vehicle.

● Sustainable Relationships

● Access For All

We believe that the trails network serves as a conduit for connecting people with nature, each other, and their inner selves.

We strive for a trail system that offers a comfortable entry point for beginners, a welcoming place for people with disabilities, and a challenge for experienced athletes.
