Tread Lightly!

CACHE SEEKERS
• Use maps to find a route that will minimize impact.
• If you notice a path has started to wear in the vicinity of a cache, notify the cache owner via email.
• When allowed to hike off designated trails, spread out in open country. One exception is in deserts, where hikers should travel in single file and try to walk on hardened surfaces such as slickrock, gravel or in sand washes.
• After you’ve finished searching for a cache, the area should look as though you were never there or better than when you arrived.
