WST Notice - Current Trail Issues

El Dorado Canyon from Deadwood to El Dorado Creek is also not currently safe for horses until trail repairs have been made. This work is anticipated to take place sometime in May 2020.

The California Loop is now REOPENED and is available for training purposes.

The trails team has trained trail stewards in place who are organizing to fix these locations and we will notify you when these repairs have been made.

Thank you for respecting the trails and staying safe!

The Robie Cup Recipients

Update: Both LS Steele Breeze and Monk received the coveted Robie Cup after successfully completing the 2019 ride!

“Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby, to be picked up and laid down like a game of solitaire. It is a grand passion. It seizes a person whole and once it has done so, he/she will have to accept that his life will be radically changed.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Help Preserve the Historic Western States Trail

A primary mission of the Western States Trail Foundation is to preserve the historic route taken by Paiute and Washoe Indians, Gold Rush explorers, Comstock hopefuls, and Express Riders of the Wells Fargo and Adams Express Companies.
