Trail Etiquette: Sharing the Path Responsibly 10 Aug 2025 • 1 min read

How to respect nature and fellow hikers while on the trail.
Back to Blog Home

The trail is for everyone — hikers, runners, cyclists, and sometimes even horses. Knowing how to share it keeps everyone safe and makes the experience better for all.

  • Uphill hikers have the right of way — they’re working harder and may need to keep momentum.

  • Step aside for faster hikers or runners when it’s safe.

  • Keep noise to a minimum — let nature’s sounds be the soundtrack.

  • Pack out everything you bring in.

Respect extends to wildlife too: observe from a distance and never feed animals. Your small actions ripple outward, shaping how others experience the trail long after you’ve gone.
