Helpful Tips
There will be a notice of new tips posted on my facebook page - www.Facebook.com/CoolHorseTrails. Some tips will be seasonal reminders and all new tips will be saved in the "tip" link and a picture will be added where applicable. Have a good tip? Please email them to coolhorsetrails@gmail.com
Helpful Tip : Keep your trailer hitch - I have heard of more trailer hitches getting stolen lately. Well worth the cost and effort to put a hitch lock on. Very easy to use and can get at any RV store.

This website came about to share some of the great places I have ridden and offer helpful information to help you explore these wonderful areas.There are so many wonderful trails available in the Cool/Divide area, throughout Northern California and beyond. The goal is to try to provide the type of information needed by horseback riders and hikers that will encourage you to get out and try new places. The emphasis will be on staging areas, the surrounding trails, parking and general information, along with pictures and insight regarding the various trails.
