Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces
- Durable surfaces include established trails and campsites, rock, gravel, dry grasses or wood chipped.
- Try to pitch your tents in the least used areas of your campsites, to help the dying areas regrow.
Dispose of Waste Properly
- Pack it in, pack it out. Inspect your campsite and latrines for trash or spilled foods. Bag all trash and dispense of it into the dumpster.
- All returnable bottles should be returned to the River Store for proper disposal.
Leave What You Find
- Preserve the past: examine, but do not touch, cultural or historic structures and artifacts.
- Leave rocks, plants and other natural objects as you find them.
- Avoid introducing or transporting non-native species.
- Do not build structures, furniture, or dig trenches.
Minimize Campfire Impacts
- Campfires can cause lasting impacts.
- Please keep all fires inside the designated fire ring(s) that are located inside your campsite
- Keep fires small. Larger fires can produce forest fires if not properly attended to.
- Burn all wood and coals to ash, and put out campfires completely.
Respect Wildlife
- Observe wildlife from a distance. Do not follow or approach them.
- Never feed animals. Feeding wildlife damages their health, alters natural behaviors, and exposes them to predators and other dangers.
- Protect wildlife and your food by storing rations and trash securely.
- Avoid wildlife during sensitive times: mating, nesting, raising young, or winter.
Be Considerate of Other Visitors
- Be courteous. Yield to other users on the trail.
- Let nature's sounds prevail. Avoid loud voices and noises
