Trail Shuttles

 
A limited shuttle service is available through volunteers from the Society. In most instances the person will use a pick up in which you can put your gear and when more than the cab will hold, passengers may be required to ride in the back. If you have more than five or six you might want to get two shuttles. Make certain you tell your host how many hikers there will be.

The usual procedure is to meet where you will finish the trail or some place along the trail the hiker can find, then go to the ending point and leave the car then drive to the starting point. Prices will vary between $45 for Garden of the Gods to Lusk Creek to $105 to go from Grand Tower to Battery Rock or E’town.

If you have a dog, please do not insist they ride in the cab with you, and please don’t surprise your host with a really big furry creature with no manners.

You can usually get a briefing on the section of trail you will be hiking from your shuttle
