TRAILS - Wyoming State Parks
The International Mountain Bike Association awarded the Curt Gowdy trail system an Epic designation in 2009. This is currently the first and only Epic designation by IMBA in the state of Wyoming. According to IMBA, an Epic designation means the trail system provides a quality ride and quality experience for the user. Curt Gowdy State Park Trail construction began in 2006. The system now includes over 30 miles of trails connecting Granite and Crystal Reservoirs and contains four free ride play areas, skills area, and a dedicated four mile equestrian loop. Trail difficulty is from easy to extremely difficult and winds through some incredible scenic vistas in the park. Trails for all ability levels Altitude: 6,700 to almost 8,000

Mountain biker responsibilities: • Yield to all other trail users. Anticipate other trail users around corners and blind spots, and be prepared to accommodate them. • Pass with care and alert other users in advance with a vocal warning. • Be a safe rider. Know your ability and select routes accordingly. Keep your bike under control and travel at a safe speed. • Always wear a safety helmet.
Equestrian responsibilities:
• Travel at a safe speed. Be especially careful when visibility is limited. • Communicate with other trail users. Let others know if your horse is safe to pass. • Don’t ride in the mud. If the trail is muddy, try to use an alternate trail. Deep hoof prints make it difficult for others to use the trail.

TRAILS
CURT GOWDY STATE PARK General responsibilities for all trail users: • Be courteous and communicate. Be respectful of other trail users regardless of their mode, speed or level of skill. • Keep right and pass left. When passing, give a clear audible, vocal signal in advance. (Bells may frighten horses.) • Stay on designated trails. Don’t shortcut – especially on switchbacks. This creates erosion, damage to wildlife habitat and new trails which cannot be maintained. • Keep your pets on a leash and under control at all times. • Pack out your litter. • Downhill traffic should yield to uphill traffic. Use common courtesy. When in doubt, give the other user the right of way. • Do not disturb wildlife along the trails. • Avoid disturbing natural features.
