We are partnering with the Prescott National Forest, Prescott    Mountain Bike Alliance, Prescott Saddle Club, Yavapai Trails Association,  Granite Mountain  Riders, and all other trail users to promote safety and  strive for community cooperation and  courtesy from all users on our trails.   Measurable Objectives: Identify problem spots on the trails Brushing trails  Trail Re-design to control bike speeds  Equestrian Bypass routes for around dangerous spots
