The DTCA is 100% volunteer driven and 100% of all proceeds or donations are used for route maintanance and development in the David Thompson corridor.
Leave No Trace!
Leave no trace means packing out what you packed in. This means toilet paper!
Tip! Bring a ziplock for garbage, and burn or bury toilet paper!
Respect the Land!
Access in the David Thompson Corridor is unique in Alberta. Many places are special to the local Indigenous communities.
Tip! Reckless treatment of the land will ensure easy access to the corridor ends.
Respect Others!
Everyone is here for recreation. There is no need to wreck someones day by blowing stuff up or being a jerk face.
Tip! Smiling is contagious. Be a teacher instead of a complainer.
