Our Story

We join to find more places to ride, and more people to ride with. We stay because we believe in the BCHW mission which is to keep trails on public lands open for public and livestock use. We ensure that by doing trail maintenance on local trails in Kitsap County as well as other sites across the state. More about our Goals, Mission Statement, and what our organization is all about can be found at https://www.olympicbchw.org/ and http://www.bchw.org/ . In this time of restricted activities, we are still getting out riding and maintaining trails - just not in the planned groups. Please join us on one of our 1st of the month rides, or join just to support the mission, or to be in the loop for the latest trail news! Olympic Chapter of Back Country Horsemen of Washington
