It is unwise for backpackers to assume that water from sources in the Queyras is safe to drink (see ssss1, below). Water taken from streams and other sources should be treated before using (remember that there are many large flocks of sheep in some areas of the park, as well as wild animals – see Wildlife, below). The art of the backpacker is to leave no sign of an overnight camp. Leave no litter and take care not to pollute water sources. Particular care should be exercised with matches and stoves, as forest fires are all too common during the hot, dry summers. Do not light open fires.
