however, there are fees at some developed

sites. No fees to hike or walk.

Dogs are welcome. Some trails and devel-

Trails may have a variety of users: walkers,

hikers, horseback riders, and/or bike riders.

Trailhead signs help keep you informed on

local issues and mileages.

Pack It In - Pack It Out.

Tell someone where you are going.

Carry a map, water, snack, and phone.

Hike with a friend.

Bring your trekking poles.

Only go as far as you are able – enjoy your-

Dress for the weather, bring an extra layer.

Wear a sturdy non-slip shoe or hiking boot.

Carry bear spray and know how to use it.

Tread lightly and safely.
