Hello Everyone,

Mother Nature is starting to make our trails super fun again.   We hope you are getting out to enjoy them.   

HRATS Post Canyon Shuttle Day Next Weekend:

Trail Maintenance:

This Fall, HRATS is taking a big step towards better trail maintenance.   Unfortunately, the current approach to maintaining local trails is not working as well as we would like.   For this reason, HRATS is forming a more organized Maintenance Team to perform routine maintenance tasks, including easy tread work and brushing.

If you love our trails and have a bit of extra time, please reply to this email.   We would love to have you on our team.   No trail-building experience is needed; we have training planned to get everyone up to speed.   You also don’t need a lot of spare time.   We are looking for people who are willing to spend a few hours at a time, a handful of times a year, in the woods.  

Upcoming Trail Work Parties – Save the Dates!
Sunday, October 26, 2025 & Sunday, November 9, 2025
Time: 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM

Mark your calendars! We’re hosting two big work parties this fall to give back to the trails we love.

  • One event will take place at Whoopdee, where we’ll tackle much-needed maintenance on the new miles of trail.
  • The other event will be in Post Canyon, supporting our amazing trail adopters and helping maintain one of the most popular riding zones in the area.

Full details, including meeting spots and what to bring, will be shared soon. Come out, lend a hand, and help keep our trail systems running strong!

HRATS Social Media and Email:

If you prefer to help in the digital realm, HRATS could still use your help, too.   We are looking for a Social Media / Communications Director:   Communicating with trail users and supporters is vital for HRATS.   Please reply to this email if you are interested in joining us.

Happy Trails,

HRATS
