Responsible Recreation
When on the Arizona National Trail, please remember to keep the area clean and healthy for future use. Leave No Trace is a national campaign that encourages outdoor enthusiasts to be aware of their impact on their environment while recreating. For more information on the Seven principles click below.

Campfires
Campfires can be a fun part of any camping trip, but only if used responsibly. When building a fire, use existing fire rings if possible. Never leave a fire unattended, even if there are no flames present. Many wildfires have been caused by abandoned campfires. Fire restrictions can change on a daily basis. Check at the local ranger station for current fire restrictions.
