As hiking grows in popularity, it’s important to remind newcomers not to leave trash on trails or in parking areas even if it’s biodegradable. Biodegradable items like fruit peels and nut shells can take years to break down and attract wildlife, creating problems for both animals and hikers. Always pack out all trash, including food, and pick up any litter that might have been left by others. 📌 Tips for Responsible Recreation: 🌎 Leave it better than you found it. 🥾 Stay on the trail. ⛺️ Camp on durable surfaces. 🐻 Respect wildlife & keep your distance. 🚮 Pack out your trash & any trash you find. 😀 Be respectful to others. ⚠️ Follow local rules & regulations. 🎒 Bring the proper gear & stay safe. ⛈️ Always check current local weather. ✅ Follow us @the.guidebook for trail recommendations, campsite information, and hiking, camping, & travel tips.
