Whether hiking the Blackbird Island Trail or mountain biking Freund Canyon, observing proper etiquette ensures everyone on the trail will have fun, safely. Trails during the summer can be particularly popular, making proper etiquette all the more important.
In fact, one universal rule of thumb for both bikers and hikers to remember — especially during the busiest summer months — is: “If the lot is full, the trail is full.” Have a second option planned in case your first option is full. This helps prevent overcrowding.
