TRAVEL RESPONSIBLY
Travel responsibly on designated roads, trails or areas.
  • Travel only in areas open to all-terrain vehicle (ATV) use.
  • Minimize wheel spin. On switchbacks, avoid roosting around the apex of the turn when climbing or brake-sliding during descent, both of which gouge the trail. Drive over, not around obstacles to avoid widening the trail.
  • Slow down when sight lines are poor. Cross streams only at designated fording points, where the trail crosses the stream.
  • Comply with all signs and respect barriers.
  • Buddy up with two or three riders, reducing vulnerability if you have an accident or breakdown. Designate meeting areas in case of separation.
  • When winching, always inspect your equipment, use the right winch for the situation, find a good secure anchor and never winch with less than five wraps of wire rope around the drum.
  • When using a tree as an anchor, use a wide tree strap to avoid damaging the trunk of the tree.
  • Listening to headphones or ear buds can make it difficult to hear and communicate with other riders. In some areas it is illegal to operate ATVs with both ears covered.
  • Don’t mix riding with alcohol or drugs.
