Our Staff

Beth Nobles
Executive Director

Beth had her first experience with trails as a member of the Youth Conservation Corps in Illinois state parks while still in high school. Since then, she’s worked in museums, cultural institutions, nonprofit organization and higher education with a common theme–building partnerships for increased organizational stability and community investment. Following twenty years at the University of Iowa Foundation, she led the new nonprofit Texas Mountain Trail in Far West Texas for a decade; and served as Deputy Director of the statewide advocacy nonprofit, BikeTexas during the extended medical leave of their Executive Director. She served as President of the Tierra Grande Texas Master Naturalist chapter; has organized heritage bike routes and wildlife trails; and enjoys hiking, biking and trail running. She’s a graduate of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where, in the late 70s she rode her bike to class using the protected bike lanes on campus. She’s proud and happy to be a new resident of Colorado.
