Have you heard of the RIMS app but are not sure how to use it? Not sure where to get started? Please join us for a hike and RIMS training as part of the Denver Conservation & Trails' Protected Places Hiking Series. We will be using RIMS throughout the hike to help you learn how to collect important data on trails for land managers. This hike will give you the confidence to use the app on your own to report on trail maintenance needs, inventory campsites, track visitor use, and more. Your support as a RIMS volunteer is vital for land managers so they can prioritize hot spots and deploy crews to work on trail issues.
