Leave No Trace
To keep the Canyon Pintado National Historic District clean and pristine for future generations, it's important to observe a few practical "Leave No Trace" guidelines while visiting the area. Of course, this includes properly disposing of trash and other waste, but you also want to minimize your impact on the land by sticking to established hiking trails and roads when exploring. Camping on hard-packed ground that has been used previously by other campers is always better than creating your own camping area. Finally, leave all natural objects where you find them, and never approach local wildlife.
