Tevis

["Joan Dowis" <jdowis@foothill.net>]

Kristen,  statistics were compiled for the past several years' rides to see
if there was any correlation between first-timers and horses in metabolic
stress, among other things.  There was none.  The results were pretty
consistent over the several years reviewed.  I am not sure if your question
is directly answered, and will attempt to find out.  As far as the trail is
concerned, almost all of it is on public lands and is open to individuals
year-round.  No organized events are permitted in the Wilderness Area other
than the Tevis and the 100 mile run, and access through Squaw Valley area
may be limited by the SV management.

Check the Tevis website - www.foothill.net/tevis/ - for information on the
trail and other things.
