Trail Maintenance Endowment Fund

Our trail systems offer unparalleled access to the outdoors and maintaining those trails is a community effort. The Trail Maintenance Endowment Fund is a permanent endowment for non-motorized trail projects in Routt and Moffat Counties. There are two ways to make a donation to Yampa Valley trails to help us maintain the trail we all love for future generations.

1. Visit one of the 10 trail meters located close-to-town, including Spring Creek trailhead and Fetcher Park. These donation stations are refurbished parking meters with credit card readers.
2. Give online at the Yampa Valley Community Foundation or make a monthly contribution.
