- Everyone experiences and enjoys the outdoors in different ways. Be mindful of your group's noise level so everyone can appreciate our shared spaces.
- Yield to the uphill hiker and biker — they need the momentum. Wheelchair users and equestrians always have the right of way.
- Journey to places with minimal crowds to maximize your connection with the great outdoors. Have a backup plan in case the parking lot at your original destination is full.
- Bringing your pet along? Some visitors may fear pets, be uncomfortable around them, or have allergies. Keep pets under control at all times to ensure the safety and comfort of other visitors. Please pick up dog feces from camps and trails. Pet waste can contaminate water and harm wildlife. Some areas prohibit dogs or require them to always be on a leash. Leashes help keep pets on the trail, minimize wildlife encounters, allow owners to easily find their waste, and control them around other pets and people.
