•  Whenever possible, use existing campsites
•  Camp at least 200 feet from water, trails, and other campsites
•  Pack out what you pack in. In other words, make sure you take all your trash with you
•  Repackage snacks and food in baggies to reduce weight and amount of trash to carry.
•  Consider using a camp stove instead of a campfire; they leave less impact on the land.
•  Observe all fire restrictions
•  Allow wood to burn to a fine ash, use dirt or water to fully extinguish the fire.
•  Wash 200 feet away from streams and lakes. Detergents, toothpaste and soap harm fish and other aquatic life.
•  Use a portable latrine, if possible. If not, bury your waste in a shallow hole six to eight inches deep.
•  After a trip, wash your gear and vehicle to reduce the spread of invasive species.
