Challenge

The Horse to Hardtail Project involves many key elements, required to find a balance for optimal land manager usage.

Re-Purpose as much of the old hiking and horse trails as possible.
Re-Establish positive land use following the massive timber harvest.
Use as much of the remaining canopy as possible to minimize maintenance needs.
Create an "outer ring" of the property to be used as a course for multi-sport endurance events.
Design and create increasing trail difficulties to be used by a progressive camp concept.
Make the trails welcoming and user friendly to various summer groups
