Stress to our wildlands becomes more evident each year as people flock to these fragile desert areas. To help preserve our wildlands, the U.S. Forest Service has partnered with the National Outdoor Leadership School to develop the Leave No Trace (LNT) program. The principle behind LNT is to travel and camp with care when visiting wildlands to preserve them for the next visitors.

The Southwest environment is a combination of majestic and fragile. By planning our adventures for small groups we can provide a more enjoyable experience, focus on individual needs, and minimize the impact on the environment. Practicing the LNT principles enables us to enjoy our wildlands while preserving them for those who follow.

Education is key to spreading the work about LNT. We try to educate our guests so more of us can visit the wild places that call to us and ensure they are wild for the next guests too.
