Pack EVERYTHING out ā¤µļø Letās talk about how to be a responsible hiker during larch season AND a government shutdownā¦ When park staff and rangers arenāt around, itās on us all to step up and protect the places we love. Hereās how to do your part during a government shutdown (and during the ongoing staff shortage): š² Leave No Trace (Always) ā Just because no oneās watching doesnāt mean the rules disappear. Stay on trail, camp in established areas, and pack out everything, including toilet paper. š Pack it out (for real) ā With trash services limited or paused, whatever you bring in, you must bring out. If you see someone elseās litter, pack that out too. It sucks to pick up others trash but itās a small action that makes a difference and models the right behavior. š„ Skip the campfires ā Fire bans and permits might not be actively enforced, but that doesnāt mean itās safe to burn. Use a stove instead and help prevent wildfires. š½ Handle waste properly ā Restrooms may be locked or unmaintained. Dig proper catholes (6ā8 inches deep, 200 feet from water) or pack it out with a WAG bag. š£ Speak up (if you feel safe to do so) ā If you see others breaking rules or damaging fragile areas, a friendly reminder can go a long way. Most people just donāt know better. š« Respect permits and quotas ā Even if enforcement is paused, those systems exist to protect fragile ecosystems and limit overuse. If you didnāt get a permit, save it for another time. š« Respect closures ā If areas are officially closed, donāt go. Fragile ecosystems and infrastructure can easily be damaged without oversight. The wild places we love donāt stop needing care when the government shuts down. This is our chance to show that the outdoor community can protect these spaces. šļøresponsible backpacking tips š„¾trail etiquette during larch seasonš² hiking responsibly during a government shutdown #larch #fallhiking #protectourparks #leavenotrace #northcascades
