DUST2 Trails
​
​DUST2 builds and maintains trails that can be used by mountain bikes in the Pagosa Springs area. We work with the Town of Pagosa Springs, Archuleta County, Archuleta School District, the United States Forest service, and other private landowners to provide mountain bike trail opportunities.
​
Every year we host trail work opportunities that allow volunteers to learn about the science of trail building and maintenance. Please see our calendar, social media accounts, and email newsletters to stay up to date on the trail work dates each year. ​
​
Local, state, and federal governments do not have the funding to provide regular maintenance of trails.
Your support of DUST2 allows us to step in and make sure we have places to ride. ​​​
