OTG Mailing Lists

Mailing Lists

Want news of OTG or our weekly work trips? We've got mailing lists for that. Ouray Trail Group recently switched mailing services and we have self-subscribe options for you to add or remove yourself from the lists. 

OTG Newsletters come out once a month and have general announcements, summaries of trips that have happened or are about to and pictures of the group in action. When you become a member, you automatically are subscribed to this list. 

Weekly Work emails are sent summer through fall and detail the weeks work trips. There's generally a work trip on Mondays and Thursdays but as changes are made, they'll be listed in this email. Expect one email per week but more if weather changes our plans. 

To join the weekly work list, use this subscription form:
