The HRCA Backcountry Wilderness Area trails are a well-used and well-loved resource in our community. To maintain the quality of the trails and a safe experience for all, we ask that EVERYONE follow basic trail etiquette standards along with use rules. With nearly 100,000 people in Highlands Ranch, our trails can be busy with all types of recreationalists. Given that our trails provide opportunities to hike, run, bike, and ride horses, it is important to know and understand the safe ways to use them. In addition to providing a safe trail environment, it is also crucial for users to stay on the designated trails to avoid harming the system and encroaching on wildlife habitat.
Below you'll find signs and educational materials that should guide your behavior on HRCA Backcountry Wilderness Area trails. Please be a model of trail etiquette to show others what's expected!
