When hiking or camping, remember this adage: "Leave only footprints and take only pictures." The exception to the rule? If you notice litter on the trail, pick it up and pack it out. To connect with other hikers, join Sierra Club Trails  and upload your photographs. Review the rules for ethical hiking and camping  at Leave No Trace and learn wilderness survival techniques at Sierra magazine.
