Need to Know about Guided Trail Riding

• Tread Lightly! principles will be observed at all times.

• Trial Routes have been carefully pre-determined and should be suitable for rigs based on the categories described for each group.

• Each group will have a brief drivers meeting before departure to become acclimated with the planned route and debrief on all safety, and communications, along with best practices when riding in groups.

• CB or FRS/GMRS Radios are suggested but not required. We encourage good radio communication and groups will be on a designated channel.

• Each Guided Trail Ride through Coalmont is approximately 6-8 hours long

• Excursion Rides are approximately 4-5 hours long.

• Every Guided Route will include at minimum One Trail Guide and One Tail Gunner.

• Our goal is to depart each guided trip with no more than approximately 14 rigs total.

• A brief drivers meeting with all participants will commence 10 minutes before each scheduled departure time. You must arrive on time!

• In the South rain is a weather factor which can elevate the difficulty rating of some trails as much as one whole level higher.

• While each route category has a few different levels of basic requirements, most would benefit from use of some additional suggested equipment. While you want to be prepared you also don't be to be overloaded.

• Two-way Radio, Tool Kit, Spare Tire, Tire Patch Kit, and some common spare parts are all suggested equipment to have on-board.

• May we suggest our series of Educational Videos aimed at assisting you in coming prepared and making the most out of your trip for both yourself and everyone else in your group. Topics in our Education Series include "What to bring on a One Day Trail Ride", Group Trail Riding Etiquette, How to Tread Lightly, and much more.
