Hiking Tips
- Travel only on foot.
- Stay on the trail - short cuts erode the land and make more work for the volunteers who maintain the trail.
- If you packed it in, pack it out! Help out by picking up any trash others have left behind, too.
- Travel in small groups. Four to six is ideal; 25 is the maximum.
- Respect other hikers and wildlife by traveling quietly
- Pets are best left at home. If you do bring them, keep them on a leash and way from water source and clean up
after them.
