    • Plan Ahead and Prepare. Know the regulations and special concerns for the area you'll visit. Prepare for extreme weather, hazards, and emergencies. Schedule your trip to avoid times of high use.
    • Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces. Durable surfaces include maintained trails and designated campsites, rock, gravel, sand, dry grasses or snow. Protect riparian areas by camping at least 200 feet from lakes and streams.
    • Dispose of Waste Properly. Pack it in, pack it out. Inspect your campsite, food preparation areas, and rest areas for trash or spilled foods. Pack out all trash, leftover food and litter.
    • Leave What You Find. Preserve the past: examine, photograph, but do not touch cultural or historic structures and artifacts. Leave rocks, plants and other natural objects as you find them.

    A poorly prepared group may plan to cook meals over a campfire only to discover upon arrival at their destination that a fire ban is in effect or that firewood is in scarce supply. Such groups often build a fire anyway, breaking the law or impacting the landsimply because they have not planned for alternatives. A group that has failed to develop go...

    • Principle 1: Plan Ahead and Prepare. Following the calling card of the Boy Scouts, this simply means to be prepared for your activity, wether it’s a few hours or months on the Appalachian Trail.
    • Principle 2: Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces. Choosing the best-suited location for camping involves minimizing damage to landscapes and vegetation.
    • Principle 3: Dispose of Waste Properly. This Leave No Trace principle might be considered one of the most commonly violated. That’s especially true for people who don’t like the idea of carrying trash, pet waste, or human waste around with them.
    • FAQs of Leave No Trace Waste Disposal. I want to highlight this section since so many discussions surround food items like orange peels or apple cores. Not to mention the heated debate about dog poop vs wildlife poop vs human poop.

    • Plan ahead and prepare. Even if you’re a seasoned hiker or a lifelong adventure addict, it’s important to do your homework and plan ahead for every single outdoor excursion (yes, even something as simple as a short and sweet hike in your local area that you’ve done dozens of times!).
    • Travel and camp on durable surfaces. Always stay on the trail. Trails are designed and put in place not only as a literal guide for people to follow, but also as a critical way to protect the area.
    • Dispose of waste properly. There’s no sugar-coating it: litter is a problem everywhere. Of course it’s ugly to look at, but it also (more importantly!)
    • Leave what you find. “Look but don’t touch” is one of the most important of the 7 principles of Leave No Trace. A beautiful flower or eye-catching rock is for everyone to enjoy — in its natural habitat.
