Leave No Trace
Whether you're just walking the El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro National Historic Trail or staying a week in the area's wilderness, you'll need to follow the rules of the BLM's Leave No Trace policy. This policy states that all visitors are merely guests to the homes of native wildlife, and as a guest, you should respect the environment by picking up all of your trash, keeping your distance from the animals, and leaving anything you find on the land behind. You'll also want to be mindful of starting any campfires by watching them closely and keeping them in open spaces away from vegetation.
