At the core of outdoor ethics is the principle of leave no trace, which means that you should leave the trail (and park) as good as or better than you found it. If you bring something into a park, pack it out. And if you find litter on the trail, pack that out too. The Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics “protects the outdoors by teaching and inspiring people to enjoy it responsibly.”

Views from Miller/Knox Regional Shoreline (Hike 3) stretch from Richmond to San Francisco.

Their seven Leave No Trace (LNT) principles help people reduce their impact on natural areas:

1.Plan ahead and prepare.

2.Travel and camp on durable surfaces.

3.Dispose of waste properly.

4.Leave what you find.

5.Minimize campfire impacts.

6.Respect wildlife.

7.Be considerate of other visitors.

And while some of these principles apply more to overnight trips, it is helpful for outdoor enthusiasts to be familiar with and follow them. Learn more at: https://lnt.org/why/7-principles.
