SHARING THE TRAIL

BECAUSE THE NEW TRAILS IN STERLING FOREST ARE MOSTLY SINGLE-TRACK, SHARED-USE TRAIL WITH SOME SHORT SECTIONS THAT ARE PARTICULARLY NARROW, PLEASE PRACTICE PROPER TRAIL ETIQUETTE. PAUSE AND ACKNOWLEDGE EACH OTHER'S PRESENCE.  ALL USERS YIELD TO HORSES, AND BIKES YIELD TO HORSES AND HIKERS. IF POSSIBLE, MOVE DOWN LOW OFF THE TRAIL BELOW HORSES RATHER THAN CLIMBING ABOVE THEM.

NOTE:  PLEASE DO NOT RIDE DURING MUD AND FREEZE-THAW PERIODS TO PRESERVE THE NEW TRAIL.
