What we aim to solve
Outdoor recreation has steadily increased in popularity in Utah over the past decade, most notably with a 300% increase at the onset of the Covid pandemic. MTF seeks to preserve safe, fun outdoor experiences by dispersing trail use onto new/improved trails, which we build, and by educating trail users on best practices.
