This has got to be one of the best events of the year. in 2017 there were two days of trail riding at Big Creek. I was told in 2016 Friday was at the Grand Overland District (I didn't make it until Friday night). Izzy, any idea if they are going to back to Grand Overland?

That’s the plan, Friday GOD, Saturday Big Creek. There will also be mountain bike tracks and kayak/canoe tracks as well both days.

Thinking about registering. This looks like a fun event. However, I'll have my wife and a 5 year old with me.

Will have a kid or kids too. Last year there were several families and they were giving out Tread Lightly kids kits.

Things have changed, I may be able to make it. My only issue is that my tent is mounted to my roof. I would have to break down camp every day to do the trail rides.

One of the cons to a RTT. How many are you bringing? I have a spare small tent.
