Friends & Family, join Hungerford Trail Riders Association for the Blessing of the Trails opening season event.Campers can start rolling in on Friday and stay for the weekend. Camping is a first come/first serve basis.
Susan Stafford will bless the trails and riders for the Blessing Ride on Saturday. Riders will then split in groups for the ride; choose to ride with your friends or meet someone new. You choose how long you want to ride. If you are not camping, riders who haul for the day will park at day-use staging; then ride horses over to the pavilion. Everyone is Welcome!
