Minimum impact is the code for the wilderness. Leave as little trace of your passing as possible.
Use an established campsite when possible.
When there is no established site, camp on hard ground away from meadows, streams and lakes. Do not trench around tents.
Use portable stoves for cooking, or cook only in established fire grates or bowls.
Don't use soap, not even biodegradable soap, in lakes or streams. Use and dump soapy water at least 50 feet form open water.
Locate toilets well off the trail and at least 50 feet form open water. Bury human waste 6 to 8 inches below surface.
Pack out all non-burnable trash. Remember the minimum impact code.
Do not pick, cut, dig, or harm plants or wildlife. Don't feed the animals. Don't collect wildflowers or other natural objects or use vegetation in building your shelter.
Limit the size of your group to have a minimum impact on the wilderness. The Forest Service suggests 10 as a maximum group.
Shhhh! BE aware that noise pollution is offensive to the wildlife as well as to other campers.
Stay on the trail. Don't cause erosion by taking shortcuts at switchbacks.
Leave your dogs and other pets at home. They may have a negative impact on the wildlife, vegetation, and other wilderness trekkers.
