Briones Pilot Project: Benefits of EVEN and ODD Weekend Day Strategy

The Briones Pilot Project is testing trail use strategies to improve the overall trail use experience for visitors, including designating access on EVEN and ODD weekend days.

On ODD-numbered weekend days, bikers and & hikers are allowed on designated trails in the pilot zone with no horses allowed, while on EVEN-numbered weekend days, horses & hikers are allowed on designated trails in the pilot zone with no bikes allowed.

Benefits of EVEN/ODD Weekend Day Strategy:

• Mountain Biking Benefits – On ODD weekend days, mountain bikers can use pilot project trails in the pilot zone without having to worry about passing slow-moving horses, creating a better overall trail user experience.
• Equestrian Benefits – On EVEN weekend days, equestrians can use trails in the pilot zone without having to worry about being passed by fast bikers, creating a calmer trail user experience.
• Hiker Benefits – Hikers are permitted on all trails in the pilot zone on all days but can hike on specific trails bike-free on EVEN weekend days and horse-free on ODD weekend days, creating a unique trail user experience.
