Join Tsalteshi Trails Association for summer activities designed to get everyone out on the trails! Events are free and open to the public. Get familiar with the trails, meet other trail users and learn a thing or two in the process. Most events last about an hour. Dress for the weather and bring your bug deterrent of choice. Dogs are allowed unless otherwise specified but must be on a leash. For more information, contact Alicia at info@tsalteshi.org.
