General Trail Etiquette

  1. Stay on the Trail: Do not create new paths or shortcut switchbacks. This helps prevent erosion and protects wildlife habitats.
  2. Yield Appropriately:
    • Hikers yield to equestrians (horses).
    • Cyclists yield to hikers and equestrians.
  3. Leave No Trace: Pack out all trash, including biodegradable items like fruit peels. If you bring it in, take it out.
  4. Keep Right, Pass Left: Stay to the right side of the trail to allow others to pass safely.
  5. Respect Closures: Obey all posted signs and trail closures to protect the environment and ensure safety.

Safety Rules

  1. Be Prepared: Carry sufficient water and appropriate footwear. Know the trail conditions and weather forecast.
  2. Stay Visible: Wear bright or reflective clothing, especially in areas with shared use, like biking trails.
  3. Keep Noise Levels Low: Avoid loud music or shouting.
  4. Travel in Groups: If possible, hike with a buddy or group, especially in remote areas.
  5. Carry Emergency Supplies: Have a basic first aid kit and whistle in case of emergencies.

Environmental Considerations

  1. Respect Wildlife: Observe animals from a distance. Do not feed or approach them.
  2. Protect Plants: Do not pick flowers or damaging vegetation.
  3. Prevent Fires: Adhere to fire restrictions.

Rules for Pets

  1. Leash Your Pets: Keep dogs on a leash.
  2. Clean Up After Pets: Always pick up and dispose of pet waste properly.
  3. Ensure Control: Only bring pets that can remain calm around wildlife and other trail users.

Accessibility and Shared Use

  1. Avoid Blocking the Trail: Stop or rest to the side of the path.
  2. Be Courteous: Greet other trail users with a friendly “hello” or nod to create a welcoming atmosphere.
  3. Control Your Speed: Cyclists and runners should adjust speed in crowded areas and use a bell or verbal signal when approaching others.
