Trails Connect Us

To Nature,

To community,

To ourselves.

Our Mission

The mission of RCTF is to accomplish essential trail construction, maintenance, and improvements in the Rim Country and surrounding areas for the enjoyment and safety of all trail users. This shall be done through fundraising efforts, including donations, bequests, and grants, and also by building partnerships with the United States Forest Service, local communities, businesses and organizations.

What We Do

Rim Country has always had trails. For decades, many developed informally as social trails; created by hikers and mountain bikers who wanted to explore and enjoy the landscape. As our community has grown, so has the need for a connected, well-designed, and sustainable trail system.
Since 2019, local organizations, municipalities, and the U.S. Forest Service have invested in creating and improving the trails throughout Rim Country. These efforts have made one thing clear: quality trails are essential to the health, recreation, and quality of life of our community.

The Rim Country Trail Fund (RCTF) exists to help turn that vision into reality.

We bring together the people, organizations, and resources needed to make trail projects happen. We build partnerships with the U.S. Forest Service, local municipalities, community organizations, land managers, and others who share a commitment to Rim Country’s trails.
Our members are actively working to secure funding and support for future trail projects, ones currently underway, and the ideas that will shape the future of our trail system.
Our goal is simple: to help create a trail system that connects people to the remarkable landscape around us, and ensures those trails are here for generations to come.
