West Elk Multi-Use Club

Since 2002, the West Elk Multi-Use Club has marked, maintained, and promoted trails in the White River National Forest, north of Rifle, Silt, and New Castle, for hiking, biking, horseback riding, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and dog sledding. Multi-use is a key management principle for the US Forest Service. WEMUC has worked with the White River National Forest Regional District on a 3-loop winter trail system, approximately 12 miles in length, starting on Forest Road 819, on the Buford Road.
