Spearhead riders may remember when we mailed out permit stickers for helmets. We no longer do this. If you completed a waiver and paid for your permit, a copy of your permit was e-mailed to you. Check your spam folder. The e-mail subject is "Your Spearhead Trails™ Permit". Screenshot, print or save this e-mail for your files. Additionally, all Trail Rangers have the ability to look up your permit on the trails. You must ride with a valid ID.

No, trails are open from sunrise to sunset.
