    1.

    PLAN AHEAD AND PREPARE

    Know the regulations and special concerns for the area you will visit.
    Prepare for extreme weather, hazards, and emergencies.
    Schedule your trip to avoid times of high use.
    Visit in small groups when possible. Consider splitting larger groups into smaller groups.
    Repackage food to minimize waste.
    Let people at home know where you are going

    2. TRAVEL AND CAMP ON DURABLE SURFACES

    Durable surfaces include established trails and campsites, rock, gravel, dry grasses or snow.
    Protect riparian areas by camping at least 200 feet from lakes and streams.
    Good campsites are found, not made. Altering a site is not necessary.
    Concentrate use on existing trails and campsites.
    Walk single file in the middle of the trail, even when wet or muddy.
    Keep campsites small. Focus activity in areas where vegetation is absent.

    3. DISPOSE OF WASTER PROPERLY

    Pack it in, pack it out. Inspect your campsite and rest areas for trash or spilled foods. Pack out all
    trash, leftover food and litter.

    4. LEAVE WHAT YOU FIND

    Preserve the past: examine/observe, but do not touch cultural or historic structures and artifacts.
    Leave rocks, plants and other natural objects as you find them.
    Avoid vandalizing the areas you visit, like carving your names or your group's name on structures
    and natural objects such as stones/rocks
    Never rearrange stones/rocks and others natural objects

    5. MINIMIZE CAMPFIRE IMPACTS

    6. RESPECT WILDLIFE

    Do not carve your name/s or your group's name on tree trunk. Gone are the days when you had
    to scribble "I was here" on trees.

    7. BE CONSIDERATE OF OTHER VISITORS

    Respect other visitors and protect the quality of their experience.


    Be courteous. Yield to other users on the trail.
    Step to the downhill side of the trail when encountering pack stock.
    Take breaks and camps away from trails and other visitors.
    Let nature's sounds prevail. Avoid loud voices and noises.
