Hiking Etiquette:

Consideration is vital to ensure the enjoyment of all trail users and protection of park resources. By staying on the trail, you lessen your impact and disturbance of wildlife. The only time to step off-trail is when you encounter many other users or are resting. When stepping off-trail, step to the side and stop walking; this prevents the trail from being widened and lessens the impact on vegetation. Sit on rocks or a fallen tree if sitting is necessary.

As courtesies, bike riders yield to hikers, downhill yields to uphill, and always stay to the right, only walk on the left to pass. Allow faster-moving parties to pass.

Do not litter. Pack out your trash. If you carry it in, carry it out.

Do not chase or harass wildlife.

Do not break off tree limbs, remove broken egg shells, or pick or damage plants growing along the trails.

Avoid putting your hands and feet anywhere you cannot see

Please RSVP as soon as possible - Stay Fearless!
