Year-End report and sponsor packet
We are excited and proud to present our 2023 Year-End Report. This year has seen some great trail openings, new virtual events, and momentous developments. Our recreation opportunities are growing in leaps and bounds, and it's only through your support that it's happened! We can't wait to see what can be accomplished in 2024.
Please also peruse our sponsor packet for 2023. If you feel that you or your business would like to contribute to recreation opportunities in our region, please let us know. We'd love to have you as a FAR contributor or donor! |
SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACT REPORT OF TRAILS
We are proud to have worked with the City of Cañon City and CU's Masters of the Environment (MENV) Program to create the region's first-ever economic impact report aligned with outdoor recreation amenities.
You can download the report here and read more about the positive impacts of trial systems on the local economy. We are excited to share this information with our community as we look to the future. Decisions to fund trails, create infrastructure, continue planning, and sustain development should be made with good data, and we are grateful to the CU students who have provided us with this! |
Trail Conditions
If you're looking for Canon City trail reports or Canon City trail conditions, please see our Trails page. We do our best to update these reports as often as possible (especially before the weekend). Please don't ride muddy trails. We are a small community with limited resources and volunteer capabilities. Thank you for being kind to trails!
