Trail Safety & Ethics

Help us preserve Capitol Reef Country for future generations and ensure your own safety in the desert.
Leave No Trace Pack out everything you pack in. Stay on designated trails to protect fragile desert crusts and native vegetation. Leave what you find for others to enjoy.
Flash Floods Check the forecast. Canyons and washes can flood instantly from rain occurring miles away. Avoid narrow areas if rain is predicted in the region.
Pets Know the rules. Leash laws and pet access vary by trail and land management area. Always carry extra water for your four-legged hikers.
Emergency Be prepared. Cell service is unreliable in the backcountry. Carry a physical map, a first aid kit, and always notify someone of your planned route and return time.
