Upcoming Events and activities

With heavy hearts, we have decided to take a planned pause on the Snow Queen to avoid back-to-back events and to focus our energy on launching a region-wide trail maintenance program. We hope to bring the Snow Queen back in March 2027. If anyone would like to host the event this year, we’d be happy to help make it a fun outdoor experience for women in the community. Please contact [email protected]

SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACT REPORT OF TRAILS
|
We are proud to have worked with the City of Cañon City and CU's Masters of the Environment (MENV) Program to create the region's first-ever economic impact report aligned with outdoor recreation amenities.
You can download the report here and read more about the positive impacts of trial systems on the local economy. We are excited to share this information with our community as we look to the future. Decisions to fund trails, create infrastructure, continue planning, and sustain development should be made with good data, and we are grateful to the CU students who have provided us with this! |
Trail Conditions
If you're looking for Canon City trail reports or Canon City trail conditions, please see our Trails page. We do our best to update these reports as often as possible (especially before the weekend). Please don't ride muddy trails. We are a small community with limited resources and volunteer capabilities. Thank you for being kind to trails!
