• Wash dishes and bathe far away from lakes and streams—at least 200 feet from any water source. Use only biodegradable soap.

• Use only existing campsites whenever possible. If you must develop a new site, establish camps at inconspicuous sites away from the trail and remove all traces of your presence upon leaving. Camp only on mineral soil, not vegetation. Don’t build improvements such as fireplaces, rock walls, ditches, etc. Camp at least 200 feet from water.

• Filter, boil, or purify all drinking water.

• Don’t cut switchbacks, and avoid walking on meadows and wet areas when possible. Stay on the trail.
