When mountain biking, check with park HQ to match the trail to your skill level. Wear a helmet to protect yourself in case of a crash. Leave feeding to nature. Feeding wild animals will make them sick and more likely to harm people. POTENTIALLY HARMFUL PLANTS AND ANIMALS LIVE HERE. You’ll see them more easily if you stay on the trails. Watch for grazing longhorns. Give them plenty of space and do not approach these animals. HUNTERS MAY BE ACTIVE DURING HUNTING SEASON. Check with HQ for more information.
