Hike Responsibly

The 7 Leave No Trace Principles

How we treat the wilderness determines whether it survives for the next hiker. These seven principles are the foundation of ethical outdoor travel.

01
Plan Ahead & Prepare
Know the regulations, pack right, and understand the terrain before you leave the trailhead.
02
Travel on Durable Surfaces
Stay on established trails and camp on rock, gravel, or dry grass — never fragile vegetation.
03
Dispose of Waste Properly
Pack out everything you pack in. Handle human waste according to local regulations.
04
Leave What You Find
Rocks, plants, and artifacts belong to the wilderness. Leave cultural sites undisturbed.
05
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings. Burn only small sticks. Douse fires completely before sleeping.
06
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from distance. Never feed wildlife — it disrupts natural behavior and harms them.
07
Be Considerate of Others
Yield on the trail, control noise, and let the sounds of nature define the experience.
