Leave it like this for others to enjoy. |
| TREAD LIGHTLY |
| Take pictures and memories — leave nothing. |
| Never pick wildflowers, photograph them instead. |
| Stay on the trail, especially on switchbacks. |
| Leave gates, cabins and other structures the way you find them. |
| Avoid camping in meadows, you’ll trample grass. |
| Leave a campsite clean; restore it to its natural condition. |
| Respect other visitors’ desire for solitude. |
| PACK IT IN — PACK IT OUT |
| Everything you take in must be taken out. |
| Bring trash bags to carry out all trash that cannot be completely burned. |
| Don’t bury trash. Animals will dig it up. |
| Cigarette butts, orange peels, apple core and candy wrappers are litter! |
| Bury human waste in a hole 4-6 inches deep (in soil, not in sand) at least 300 feet away from water sources. Do not bury or burn the toilet paper. |
| FIRE |
| Use gas stoves, when possible, to conserve firewood. |
| If you need to build a fire, use an existing campfire ring. |
| Use only fallen timber or firewood you have brought with you. |
| WATER |
| Camp away from existing water. Camps should be at least 300 feet from water sources. |
| Don’t pollute the water. |
| Protect riparian corridors. |
| Do not wash in streams or springs. Pour wash water on the ground away from streams and springs. |
| LEAVE WHAT YOU FIND — PROTECT CULTURAL RESOURCES |
