Tips on Use of Backcountry Trails

• Stay on trails and don't cut switchbacks, take shortcuts or create new trails.
• Be considerate of fellow trail users.
• Wheeled vehicle users should avoid harsh maneuvers that damage trail.
• Avoid muddy trails. Save them for future trips when they are dry.
• Keep your party small.
• Littering is unacceptable. Set an example and pick up after others.
• Remove obstacles from trails when possible.
• Avoid deliberately disturbing wildlife.
• Ride or walk on the center of the trail tread to protect uphill slope and outside berm.
• Do not disturb archaeological or historic sites, or natural features.
