One of the most important components of outdoor ethics is to maintain courtesy toward others. It helps everyone enjoy their outdoor experience. Excessive noise, uncontrolled pets, and damaged surroundings detract from the natural appeal of the outdoors. Being considerate of others ensures everyone can enjoy nature no matter how they interact with it.
The Basics:
- Respect others and protect the quality of their experience.
- Be courteous. Yield to other users on the trail.
- Greet riders and ask which side of the trail to move to when encountering pack stock.
- Take breaks and camp away from trails and others.
- Let nature’s sounds prevail. Avoid loud voices and noises.
