Trail Etiquette"},"content":{"rendered":"\n
Hiking is a relational sport involving family, friends, and always the strangers that come before and after you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This being the case, there are so many ways to connect with people and enjoy nature while hiking. But only if everyone involved minds their manners!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So are you a rude hiker? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are 9 questions to ask yourself. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Call me indelicate, but this is a fact of life on most hikes. It’s important to get it right. Cause…gross if you don’t. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Rule of thumb (or bottom): walk 200 feet from the trail, campsite, or water source to do your business. Two hundred feet is approximately 40 adult paces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And just like dog owners, if you bring it in, take it out – this includes toilet paper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n1. Do you know where to poop and pee?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
