A few quick reminders:
- Groups should leave shelters for smaller parties, and tent in established sites.
- Be aware that a large group makes noise and takes up space. Try not to dominate view points, lunch spots, and campsites.
- Respect quiet hours – AT guidelines suggest 10 pm – 7 am
- All water from backcountry sources should be treated before drinking.
- A privy is an outdoor toilet with walls. A chum is an outdoor toilet without walls.
- In the absence of a bear box, food must be stored in a bear hang.
