Hiking Tips:
• Carry water.
• Wear sturdy hiking shoes. Dress for variable weather.
• Follow blue trail blazes and use a map.
• Do not modify or build new cairns. Changes to trail markers may endanger other hikers.
• Know the difficulty level of the trail and your physical abilities and limitations.
Follow the Leave No Trace Policy!
• Stay on the trail. Stepping off-trail tramples fragile plant life and causes erosion.
• Step carefully on summits. Rare subalpine plant species grow on many mountaintops. Step on rocks when possible.
• Bury human waste in areas without toilets.
• Carry out all trash, including toilet paper and cigarette butts.
