Trail Access Program
The Rugged Ridge Trail Access Program by RealTruck is for all who wander off the beaten path, whatever travel method they choose. Since our shared lands are used by hikers, bicyclists, trail runners, and motorized vehicles alike, we created this initiative to protect public trail access for everyone.
Fueled by its mission to create, protect and maintain, RealTruck is excited to award four $5,000 grants, one per quarter, throughout 2025. Grants are designated for use toward education, stewardship, legal fees, or any other activity advocating the conservation of public and private land, as well as access to recreational trails. The Trail Access Program was first launched at the 2013 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. Since then, it has awarded over $185,000 in grants to numerous causes, including the Blue Ribbon Coalition; the Colorado Off-Highway Vehicle Coalition (COHVCO); the Colorado Association of 4WD Clubs; Friends of Uwharrie; New Mexico Off-Highway Vehicle Alliance; the Off-Road Business Association; Stay the Trail, and even Del Albright’s Volunteer Leader & Land Stewardship (VLLS) Course, among others.
"Well done RealTruck for all you do helping with trail access, such an important initiative..." – Bear Grylls
"Ultimately, our goal is to support the people and organizations working to protect access to public land and recreational trails across the country – improving education about the off-road hobby and matters of conservation – so our open spaces remain that way for generations of off-roaders to enjoy for years to come." – Lee Riser, VP Product Marketing
