Curt Gowdy Trail Map

The International Mountain Bike Association
awarded the Curt Gowdy trail system an Epic
designation in 2009. This is currently the first
and only Epic designation by IMBA in the state
of Wyoming. According to IMBA, an Epic
designation means the trail system provides a
quality ride and quality experience for the user.
Curt Gowdy State Park Trail construction began
in 2006. The system now includes over 30
miles of trails connecting Granite and Crystal
Reservoirs and contains four free ride play areas,
skills area, and a dedicated four mile equestrian
loop. Trail difficulty is from easy to extremely
difficult and winds through some incredible
scenic vistas in the park.
Trails for all ability levels
Altitude: 6,700 to almost 8,000

Mountain biker responsibilities:
• Yield to all other trail users. Anticipate
other trail users around corners and blind
spots, and be prepared to accommodate them.
• Pass with care and alert other users in
advance with a vocal warning.
• Be a safe rider. Know your ability and select
routes accordingly. Keep your bike under
control and travel at a safe speed.
• Always wear a safety helmet.
Equestrian responsibilities:
• Travel at a safe speed. Be especially careful
when visibility is limited.
• Communicate with other trail users. Let
others know if your horse is safe to pass.
• Don’t ride in the mud. If the trail is muddy,
try to use an alternate trail. Deep hoof prints
make it difficult for others to use the trail.
Hiker and jogger responsibilities:
• Listen for and be aware of other trail
users. Yield with care to equestrians.
• Avoid stepping off trails.
Please report trail conditions and/or
maintenance needs.

General responsibilities
for all trail users:
• Be courteous and communicate. Be
respectful of other trail users regardless of
their mode, speed or level of skill.
• Keep right and pass left. When passing,
give a clear audible, vocal signal in advance.
(Bells may frighten horses.)
• Stay on designated trails. Don’t shortcut –
especially on switchbacks. This creates
erosion, damage to wildlife habitat and new
trails which cannot be maintained.
• Keep your pets on a leash and under
control at all times.
• Pack out your litter.
• Downhill traffic should yield to uphill
traffic. Use common courtesy. When in
doubt, give the other user the right of way.
• Do not disturb wildlife along the trails.
• Avoid disturbing natural features.
