Holy Cross Drainage Work

Have you driven the Holy Cross Trail? Would you take an excavator to French Creek? Follow along as we track a machine to French Creek and build drainage features to prevent water erosion and keep the creek in the channel. The CORE Trail Crew spent three days on the trail and accumulated several hundred volunteer hours to keep the trail in good condition and open into the future.

Colorado OHV Stickers

OHV Stickers... Is there a more contentious topic in Colorado???

- 'Government Extorsion'?

- 'Double Taxation'?

- 'Unnecessary'?

- 'The money doesn't go to anything productive'?

These are the common responses to OHV Sticker conversations. But what do you know about OHV Stickers, do you know the history of the program or where the money goes? Does the money help trails?

Watch the full video as we break down the program and simplify the confusion. The video is timestamped for chapters to make it easier to find the info you are seeking.
