trail etiquette

Trail etiquette involves understanding and respecting the shared use of hiking and outdoor trails. Always yield the trail to those going uphill, as this helps maintain their momentum. If you're on a bike, slow down and announce your presence to hikers. Keep noise levels low to preserve the natural experience. Stay on marked paths to protect wildlife and vegetation. Carry out all trash, and if you're with a pet, ensure it’s leashed and cleaned up after. Be courteous, friendly, and mindful of others to ensure a positive experience for everyone on the trail.
