The CHC Trails Committee is best characterized as coordinating advocacy efforts for pack and saddle stock access on Colorado’s public lands. Recreational riding (mostly trails) makes up over 50% of Colorado’s 1.6 billion dollar horse industry. Close to 40% of land in Colorado is publicly owned and managed. If you look only at the mountains, this number is closer to 65% with some counties as high as 85%.
