Keep all trails and campsites clean of litter
Not graffiti or deface or destroy any trees, vegetation or rocks
Always respect the cleanliness of the water
Remain on existing trails and be careful not to create unnecessary new ones
Insure that my fire is DEAD OUT
Always be considerate of the campers that are to follow
Take a moment each camping day to appreciate and give thanks for this wilderness
(Adapted from the Philmont Scout Ranch Wilderness Pledge)
I thank the Earth for feeding my body
I thank the sun for warming my bones,
I thank the trees for the air I breathe,
And I thank the water for nourishing my soul.
