Deadwood Well Out of Order
Please note, the well at Deadwood is currently out of order, so do not rely on it as a water source. We will let you know as soon as it is operational again.

Western States Trail Ride and Tevis Educational Ride - Cancelled
Due to the COVID-19 viral pandemic, the WSTF has made the very difficult decision to cancel this year’s running of the Tevis Cup 100-Mile One-Day Endurance Ride, scheduled for August 1, 2020. Additionally, the Tevis Educational Ride scheduled for July 3-5 is also cancelled.
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!
