Sustainability.
We believe in preserving our nature and trails for generations to come
Supporting current planned & future uses while respecting the area’s natural systems
Causing negligible soil loss or movement while allowing naturally occurring plant systems
Recognizing needed pruning and eventual removal of invasive plants
Not adversely affecting the naturally occurring fauna
Accommodating existing and future uses while only allowing appropriate uses
Requiring little rerouting and minimal maintenance over extended periods of time (National Park Service, Rocky Mountain Region, January 1991)
