Welcome to the Trail Action Group, Vail Colorado For more information Email


The Trail Action Group (TAG) is a grass roots local group concerned with trail maintenance and multi-use access in conjunction with the United States Forest Service (USFS).
 
In 1996, the USFS was in a position where there simply was not enough resources to maintain many of the trails in the Vail area. Rather than close many of the communities’ favorite trails, TAG was formed.
 

TAG stepped in, and to forestall the closing of the trails, rallied hundreds volunteers, and with picks and shovels, helped the USFS

keep the trails open.  TAG has been so successful with this effort; many of the trails are in the best shape they have ever been in.

Not only did TAG volunteers help to prevent the closure of many trails, several new trails have been brought into the USFS system, which the USFS will now continue to maintain for years to come.


   Do you use and enjoy our local national forest trails? Please come help out at a TAG work day this summer – we need you!
