Trail colors and shapes describe technical difficulty using the IMBA rating system. Choose a route that fits your skills.
Green circle · Easy
Generally wider, firm trails with gentler slopes and small obstacles. A good starting point for newer riders.
Blue square · More difficult
Narrower trails with more variable surfaces, steeper sections and larger obstacles. Best for riders with some experience.
Black diamond · Very difficult
Challenging terrain, loose surfaces and technical features. Suited to advanced riders with confident bike handling.
IMBA also uses a white circle for easiest trails and two black diamonds for extremely difficult trails.
Ratings describe technical challenge, not distance or fitness demands, and are relative to local trails. Check the route’s length, climbing, posted rules and current conditions too.
Based on IMBA’s Trail Difficulty Rating System ↗.
A little consideration helps walkers, hikers, runners and riders enjoy the same trails.
Respect access and closures
Use trails where your activity is permitted. Follow posted rules, directional signs and closures.
Leave the trail as you found it
Stay on existing paths, avoid cutting switchbacks and pack out your litter. Choose another outing when soft or muddy trails would be damaged.
Stay in control
Ride at a speed that lets you stop safely. Slow down around corners and whenever you approach others.
Yield and pass politely
Greet others before passing. Riders yield to hikers and equestrians; downhill riders yield to uphill riders unless signs say otherwise.
Give animals space
Avoid startling wildlife. When passing horses, slow down and ask the rider how to pass safely.
Plan for your outing
Bring water, a map and supplies for the weather. Know your route and limits; riders should wear a helmet.
Adapted from IMBA’s Rules of the Trail ↗. Local posted rules take precedence.
Before heading out, download the free what3words app for iPhone or Android. It gives every 3-meter square a unique three-word address, making it easier to describe where you are on a trail—even when there’s no street address nearby.
Local emergency responders, including Austin-Travis County EMS, use what3words during rescues to help locate people who need assistance. If you’re lost or injured and need emergency help, call 911 and share your what3words location with the dispatcher.

If you need help on the trail
1. Call 911 and follow the dispatcher’s instructions.
2. Open what3words, let your GPS location settle, and tap the locate-me arrow.
3. Read the three words carefully to the dispatcher and confirm they heard them correctly. Share nearby trail signs, landmarks or GPS coordinates too.
The app can find your three-word location offline, but it does not send an alert or contact emergency services. You need phone service to call or send your location.
