Remember to recreate responsibly by keeping the following in mind:

·         Maintaining at least six feet distancing from others

·         Do not gather in groups and please follow the latest guidance from officials

·         Communicate with others as you pass. Alert trail users of your presence and step aside to let others pass

·         Pack out your trash and leave with everything you bring in and use.

Some services may not be available, so please plan accordingly.
