One of the most important
components of outdoor ethics is to maintain courtesy toward other visitors.
It helps everyone enjoy their outdoor experience. Many people come to the outdoors
to listen to nature. Excessive noise, unleashed pets and damaged surroundings
take away from everyone's experience. So, keep the noise level down while traveling
and if you bring a radio, tapes or CDs, use headphones so you will not disturb
others. Also keep in mind that the feeling of solitude, especially in open areas,
is enhanced when group size is small, contacts are infrequent and behavior is
unobtrusive. To maximize your feeling of privacy, avoid trips on holidays and
busy weekends or take a trip during the off season.
Groups leading or riding livestock have the right-of-way on trails. Hikers and
bicyclists should move off the trail to the downhill side. Talk quietly to the
riders as they pass, since horses are spooked easily. Take rest breaks on durable
surfaces well off the designated trail. Keep in mind that visitors to seldom
used places require an extra commitment to travel quietly and lightly on the
land.
When selecting a campsite, choose a site where rocks or trees will screen it
from others view. Keep noise down in camp so not to disturb other campers or
those passing by on the trail. "Goofing off" or "pranks" are undesirable social
behavior and may lead to serious or fatal injuries. Also "events" need to fit
the setting - save game playing for the city park. Bright clothing and equipment,
such as tents can be seen for long distances are discouraged. Especially in
open natural areas, colors such as day-glow yellow are disturbing and contribute
to a crowded feeling; choose earth-toned colors (i.e. browns and greens) to
lesson visual impacts. Stay in control when mountain biking. Before passing
others, politely announce your presence and proceed with caution.
Keep pets under control at all times. Bowser is not in the wildlife category.
Dogs running free can be unwelcome, frightening people or leaving behind unwanted
"presents". Please pick up dog feces from camps and trails. Some areas prohibit
dogs or require them to be on a leash at all times.
Leave gates as you find them, and leave the land undisturbed for others to enjoy.
Remember, our open spaces and wildlands are protected for all generations. It
is up to us to keep them healthy, beautiful and open to the public for recreation,
reflection and revitalization! Enjoy and learn from historical and archeological
sites but respect these sites and treasures. Some of these are sacred to Native
Americans, or are important cultural reminders of our heritage.
