Trail Stewardship has always been a core value dear to our DPMR hearts – and the relentless winters of 2017 and 2019 have proven to be especially taxing on the trails we cherish. Join us for some upcoming trail work days – we promise, as always, it’ll be GOOD, DIRTY FUN! Our first DPMR 2019 […]
Divine Death Valley
Exhilarated, if tired, following my stunning solo desert trail adventure, I half-heartedly looked for the dirt road turnoff to camp for the night.

I’m proud to introduce you to our […]
The Thing About Pacing Is…My first year with the Donner Party Mountain Runners.
