Who We Are

Our Mission

Our Mission is simple… To support the off-road community by doing what we love: exploring new trails, and enabling those who come after us to be well prepared for their own adventures.

We believe in the duty of all trail users to practice responsible off-roading, and we actively participate in efforts to improve the trails we use. We honor the Tread Lightly! initiative and encourage all our members to actively advocate their principles. It is our collective responsibility to be the steward of these public lands, or face the specter of losing them.

our core values

It’s no secret, we love what we do…and we would do it whether we ran Trails Rated or not. However, we want to give back to the community of off-roaders and to those who are not able to explore the trails we review due to vehicle capability, geographic location, or disability. We ask you to think about how you can share the adventure in your own life by inviting those less fortunate than you out on your adventures, and teaching those who come after you the skills they’ll need to carry the community onward.

We know not everybody is as into the adventure of the trail as much as us here at Trails Rated. But if you’re reading this, you probably are. You may be have been wheeling your whole life, or you may just be getting started on your journey.  Whatever your experience level it is important to remember to respect the trail and those who travel it.  We all make mistakes, and we all have our own life lessons to learn.  Some just do it more gracefully than others.

Let’s face it, doing what we do, things break.  It is our collective responsibility to be prepared for what the trail throws at us.  We try to bring everything we need to get ourselves out of trouble, and encourage you to do the same.  That includes a making sure we have a plan, and come to play.  So plan your next adventure wisely, because life’s too short for paved roads.
