Recreation Impact Monitoring System (RIMS)
Trail reports for the NET
Downed tree? Broken bridge? Flooded trail? Report your issue to help us fix it!
The NET uses the RIMS app to collect data on trail conditions and issues. The free app makes it easy to send us reports with exact locations, photos, and descriptions of trail conditions. Of course, you can always send reports on our Report a Trail Issue page too.
Background
The Colorado Mountain Club launched the RIMS program in 2019 to help land managers collect and utilize crowdsourced data to understand better and address critical issues related to recreation and natural resources. RIMS is in use on multiple National Trails and other public lands across the country.
