Your gift builds better trails

As SMT’s Trail Crew has grown, so has our need for trail tools. That's why we’re raising funds on Colorado Gives Day to purchase a dedicated truck for our trail crew—a critical resource for hauling tools, accessing remote trail work sites, and keeping trails in top shape.  

A trail-worthy vehicle will allow SMT to: 

  • Guarantee reliable transportation for our trail crew
  • Improve efficiency so staff and volunteers can get more work done
  • Carry tools & equipment (saws, hand tools, rock bars, signage, PPE) to remote work sites
  • Respond quickly to trail issues after storms or safety hazards
  • Provide better support for volunteer events
  • Access trails in all seasons and conditions

Every gift—big or small—brings us closer to getting this essential tool in the field. 

Colorado Gives Day amplifies your donation with incentive funds—so your contribution goes further right now. 

Your support today directly invests in: 

✅ Better trail maintenance 
✅ Faster storm response
✅ Safer crew operations 
✅ More miles maintained & opened 
✅ A healthier, more sustainable recreation future 

Donate today and help put a trail-ready truck to work for Salida’s trails. Together, we keep this amazing community resource strong. 



SMT is searching for a truck now. If you have a lead on a good deal, let us know: info@salidamountaintrails.org

The $45,000 fundraising goal is our best estimate of a target budget. Any funds raised above and beyond what's needed for a truck will go into SMT's general fund, to be used for trail construction and maintenance.
