Leave No Trace:
- 1. Plan and Prepare: Your trip in advance. Include information on routes, select appropriate luggage, and supplies to minimize impact on the environment.
- 2. Travel and Camp: On resistant surfaces. For safety and to minimize impacts, respect existing paths and, where there are no paths, move as a group in a fan (not all in one line) to avoid creating new paths.
- 3. Properly Dispose of Waste: When there are no trash cans, take your trash back and avoid contaminating water sources.
- 4. Respect Wildlife: Observe from a distance, do not destroy habitats, move quietly, and respect natural corridors.
- 5. Minimize Fire Impact: Follow area rules for making fires, use firewood no thicker than wrist size, make small fires, completely burn wood until white, and scatter ashes once cool.
- 6. Consider Other Visitors: Respect other visitors and locals, and their right to rest and solitude.
- 7. Leave What You Find: Do not take exotic flowers or other elements from the area, allowing others to enjoy them as well.
