What is trail etiquette? Trail etiquette refers to the commonly agreed-upon informal rules (or norms) for polite behavior when traveling on a trail.
Much of the land surrounding Cache Valley is multi-use public land managed by the USDA Forest Service. These recreation spaces are shared by a variety of users, including hikers, runners, mountain bikers, e-bikers, equestrians, and motorcycle/OHV riders. While these different uses can sometimes lead to conflict on the trails, successful shared use is possible when all users follow basic trail etiquette, respecting one another and actively keeping each other safe.
Below we’ve outlined our guide to trail etiquette in several steps all users can take to help ensure that everyone out on the trails has a safe and fun experience!
