Remember the rules of good hiking:
- Leave clear instructions with someone you trust about where you're going, when you'll be expected back, and how long they should wait before they begin to search for you
- Travel and camp on durable surfaces
- Leave it better than what you found it, take only memories
- Minimize campfire impacts, especially during fire season
- Respect wildlife, beware of the bears
- Be considerate of other visitors
