Your help is needed and appreciated!
Help us maintain and restore hiking trails in and around Ouray County. OTG provides trail stewardship under a Volunteer Service Agreement with the US Forest Service and in partnership with local governments and landowners to keep some of America’s most dramatic and beautiful trails safe and sustainable. To participate, join the Ouray Trail Group, and sign up for one of the scheduled trips below. You will receive updates and news by email.
2026 Trail Stewardship Trips
Schedule coming soon! OTG has developed an exciting trailwork calendar that will accommodate most people's schedules, ensuring there is an opportunity to provide trail stewardship for everyone, and everyone is welcome to join. Some multi-day trips will have pack support with horses, mules or llamas to help carry camp and personal gear in and out. You will enjoy some of the most scenic trails in Colorado while removing down trees or encroaching brush and repairing trails from erosion problems. You will leave the wild with the camaraderie that comes with meeting new friends and helping keep our public land trails safe and sustainable. The trips below require registration, and space may be limited.
Contact Ouray Trail Group at contactus@ouraytrails.org for additional information about each trip. Your registration below will help us with planning for tools and transportation.
Single Day Trail Work happens every Monday and Thursday on Ouray/Ridgway local trails from May through September. Join OTG below to receive weekly emails that include information about meetup locations and what to bring. To sign up for the weekly anouncements, please visit OTG Mailing Lists
