Know Your Ablilities
Plan a hike that is suitable for everyone in your party and let the slowest hiker set the pace. Remember that when traveling as a group, you are only as fast as the slowest person.

The Trail is meant to bring people together—young and old, rich and poor. It’s not just for hard core backpackers, but for families who want to get out into the woods.

HIKE QUIETLY. Speak in low voices and turn your cell phone down, if not off. Enjoy the sounds of nature and let others do the same. Think of your hike as a time to disconnect or “unplug” and experience the outdoors.
