Hiking Green

Time spent enjoying the outdoors recharges your spirit and gives you further motivation to protect the planet.

Tip #1: "Leave No Trace"

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.
