Sea Otter Classic and the Bureau of Land Management—A Model Partnership
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) welcomes you to Fort Ord and the Monterey Peninsula. When training for competitive events, please share the trail and yield to other users.
As the premier conservation agency in the United States, the BLM sustains the health, diversity, and productivity of public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. The BLM asks that you tread lightly on the land when you train for and compete in the Sea Otter Classic.
To preserve these trails at Fort Ord for future riders, please:
- ride only on marked trails;
- do not ride or brake on open terrain;
- do not cut across switchbacks; and
- do not use trails when they are wet or muddy.
To learn more about these spectacular lands, contact the BLM at (831) 394-8314 or visit www.blm.us.gov.
We hope you enjoy your visit!
