Minimizing Human Impacts

Return to Our Lands

• Prohibit grazing of domestic livestock.
• Developed a map of our trails, and built bridges and cairns to keep visitors on the paths, reducing the trampling of sensitive vegetation, especially in the alpine.
• Instruct guests about wildlife behavior encouraging viewing from a safe, appropriate distance.
• Practice and promote a "pack it in; pack it out" behavior so no evidence of visitors remain in the backcountry.
