If you plan to visit, please follow "Leave No Trace" principles:

•     Plan ahead and prepare

•     Travel and camp on durable surfaces

•     Dispose of waste properly

•     Leave what you find

•     Minimize campfire impacts

•     Respect wildlife

•     Be considerate of other visitors

 

Know Before You Go to enjoy the Outdoors. Check the weather forecast and be prepared for seasonal fluctuations in temperatures and reduced daylight hours. Road conditions from recent monsoon rains or early winter conditions may require travelers to use extra caution or avoid passage. Use good judgment and basic safety precautions when hiking, camping or riding. Do not rely on cell phones for safety, because cell coverage may not be available in remote sections of the forest or grasslands. Although fire danger is decreased, campfire safety and prevention is always a priority.  Never leave a campfire unattended, and make sure coals are cold to the touch before leaving the area.
