Our Activities
Trails Initiatives
With a passion ignited on the Rainbow Trail in the 90s, we now lead the Navajo Trails Task Force, advocating for, planning, funding, and developing trails across the reservation. From tribal parks to rail-trails to the rugged paths of the Chuskas, trails remain the forefront of our mission
Youth & Family Outings
We have been organizing outings for families for youth and families since the late 80’s. We have led over 300 outings in some of the epic places of Dine’ Bikeyah. We also have a vast gear library of equipment that is available for your use
Dine' Bike Project
Based in Beclabito, the Dine’ Bike Project seeks to serve the families, schools and communities of the Navajo Nation. We provide hundreds of good, restored bikes of all types, that are available in exchange for a good deed.
Navojo Parks Race Series
The Navajo Parks Race Series is a series of year-round events across Dine’ Bikeyah that strive to promote health and share its beauty in venues such as Navajo Mountain, Monument Valley, Little Colorado River Gorge, Window Rock, Shiprock, Camp Asaayi, Lechee and Four Corners.
Education & Outreach
We visit schools and communities to promote health and wellness, offering resources like posters and trail guides for healthy living in Dine’ Bikeyah. From health fairs to school presentations, chapter meetings, and more, we’re eager to support any event promoting well-being.

“I have run several of the Navajo Park Series races, some of them multiple times. Each of them has been a memorable experience, from the start line to the finish line. Great scenery, great support, great volunteers, and for a great cause.”
“What a great joy it has been to me, to participate in the running and biking events. I just love it all. It is a good challenge for me and also to see old friends and make new ones from across rez and USA and even around the world. A great big Thank you. The events are awesome!”
Tour De Rez Cup Series
Dine’ Bikeyah is a mountain biker’s dream place for riding. From back roads to single tracks to no tracks, you will find pleasant stretches and challenging ones.
Testimonials From Runners
“As a Grand Master’s runner, I’ve competed in hundreds of races across the United States and internationally since 1979, ranging from the Boston and New York Marathons to 200 mile-plus trail ultramarathons. The Navajo Parks Race Series consistently ranks among the very best races anywhere. NavajoYES infuses every event with traditional culture and meaning that honors Diné values and teaches non-Navajos like me how to be more respectful toward ourselves, each other and the sacred landscape of Diné bi Kéyah.” – Troy Eid
