Etiquette / Short-cutting

Don't

Short-cutting switchbacks and corners destroys trail tread, accelerates erosion, and widens trails beyond their intended footprint. Every shortcut creates two problem spots: the entry and exit.

If a corner feels awkward or too tight, the sustainable fix is to ask Evergreen to reroute it — not to ride around it. Report problem spots through your local chapter.
