Leave No Trace
The BLM has strict rules about protecting the land, especially when there is water involved. You cannot dump or leave any trash, and you can't leave behind anything that might leave an impact on the local environment. You must bring away anything that you brought to the site. Animals and plants can be hurt by trash, and the shore of the river itself can be affected. With so many animals and plants depending on the Colorado River, it is critical to ensure that no human debris affects the water quality.
