Be Considerate of Other Visitors
  • Respect other visitors and protect the quality of their experience.
  • Be courteous. Yield to other users on the trail.
  • Step to the downhill side of the trail when encountering pack stock.
  • Take breaks and camp away from trails and other visitors.
  • Let nature's sounds prevail. Avoid loud voices and noises.
I wish more people understood that they're not special. There are billions of us on Earth and we would all benefit from a little bit of reflection about our place in the larger world. The things we do have impact on animals, the wilderness, and other hikers.
I feel the same way about dogs...sort of selfish to bring them (unless actually wilderness well-trained) along.
Agreed! Especially since one of my dogs is uncomfortable with new dogs that run up on her, and often responds with aggression. I keep her leashed but can't tell you how many times we've been ambushed by a dog hundreds of yards ahead of and clearly not under the control of its owner.

Agree as well. Simba will be leashed when I hit Humphreys in Sept. They have to learn somehow and it is just best to keep them back from pack mules, people and other dogs.
Simba has a great defense mechanism.. Shiny large canines.

Music doesn't really bug me on the trail as don't partake.
