 Plan ahead and prepare. Know the regulations and special concerns for the area you’ll visit. Schedule your trip to avoid high times of use, and visit in small groups when possible.

 Travel and camp on durable surfaces, such as established trails and campsites, rock, gravel, dry grasses, or snow. Camp at least 200 feet from lakes and streams when possible. Avoid altering a campsite, and try to use existing trails and campsites.

 Dispose of waste properly. If you pack it in, pack it out. Inspect your campsite before you leave for spilled foods. Pack out all trash, leftover food, and litter. Deposit solid human waste in catholes dug 6 to 8 inches deep at least 200 feet from water, camp, and trails. Cover and disguise the cathole when finished. Pack out toilet paper and hygiene products.

 Leave what you find. Examine but do not touch cultural or historic artifacts. Leave rocks, plants, and other natural objects as you find them. Do not build structures or makeshift furniture or dig trenches.
