Leave No Trace
Seven Core Principles for Responsible Outdoor Enjoyment with Minimum Environmental Impact
Jess Dales

Leave No Trace is built on seven core principles that outline the best available minimum impact guidance for enjoying the outdoors responsibly. The principles include:
Plan Ahead and Prepare
Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces (aka stay on the trail)
Dispose of Waste Properly (use the provided pit toilets)
Leave What You Find
Minimize Campfire Impacts (There are no campfires permitted in The Enchantments)
Respect Wildlife
Be Considerate of Other Visitors
I encourage you to visit The Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics for more details regarding these principles, as well as information on how you can protect the beautiful places we all love so much.
Happy Travels!
