LEAVE NO TRACE

Plan Ahead & Prepare: 

Research, pack, and plan ahead for a safe and smooth adventure. 

Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces:

Dispose of Waste Properly: 

Pack it in; Pack it out: Leave no trace of your visit, including trash, food scraps, and pet waste. 

Leave What You Find:

Respect cultural areas. Leave natural objects where you find them, including rocks and flowers.   

Minimize Campfire Impacts:

Respect fire regulations.  Use designated fire rings and properly extinguish fires before leaving camp. 

Respect Wildlife:

Observe wildlife from a distance.  Do not approach or feed them.  Carry bear spray and be bear aware. 

Be Considerate of Others:

Share the trail and respect the experience of others.
