This helps us give you a better experience on trail.

The SF2T Trail aspires to have Leave No Trace’s Gold Standard Designation. We’re not there yet, but the journey has begun. The lands the SF2T Trail goes through are sacred to many, and cherished by locals. We want you to experience them, and love them as much as we do.

Here’s part of how you can do that:

1. Plan Ahead and Prepare.
  • Learn about where you’re going. 
  • Be prepared for any conditions you might encounter. 
  • Visit in small groups and at times of lower usage.
2. Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces. 
  • Camp at least 200 ft from water.
  • Walk in the center of paths, even if they’re muddy.
  • Stay on trails and use existing campsites.
3. Dispose of Waste Properly. 
  • Pack it in; pack it out. 
  • Dig a cathole. 
  • Pack out or bury toilet paper.
  • Pick up all trash.
4. Leave What You Find.
  • Take photos, do a drawing, but leave it so someone else can discover it. 
5. Minimize Campfire Impacts. 
  • Consider not having a campfire. 
  • Pour two liters of water on a campfire, then stir the ashes. 
  • Keep fires small. Use wood you can break with your hands.
6. Respect Wildlife. 
  • Stay far enough away from wildlife that they look about the same size as your thumb.
  • Do not feed wildlife. 
  • Control your dog at all times. 
7. Be Considerate of Others.
  • Yield to others, especially if they are climbing up a trail. 
  • Be quiet. Sound carries.
  • Be friendly and courteous. 
  • Bikes yield to hikers and horses. Hikers yield to horses.
