What you can do to protectancient and sacred places

Other tips for visiting places of cultural, historical and scientific value:

LEAVE ALL ARTIFACTS: Keep discovery alive. Leave all artifacts where you find them so the next person can share the experience. It’s illegal to move or take any artifact, including historic trash, from public lands.

DON’T TOUCH ROCK ART OR MAKE YOUR OWN: Vandalism of petroglyphs and pictographs erasesstories of ancient people and destroys the experience for future visitors.

STEER CLEAR OF WALLS: Historic and prehistoric structures can be easily damaged. Please refrain from touching, leaning, standing or climbing on anystructures, no matter how solid they look.

TEACH KIDS RESPECT: Archaeological sites are not playgrounds. Please teach children respect. Keep a close eye so kids don’t get hurt or accidentally damage the site.

DOGS ARE BEST OUTSIDE: Keep pets leashed away from archaeology where they won’t dig, poop or cause erosion inside a site. Also, know where dogs are and are not allowed.

CAMP & EAT OUSIDE THE SITE: Camping, fires and food can damage the archaeological remains and also spoil the view for other visitors.

AVOID BUILDING CAIRNS: Keep the landscape natural by leaving only footprints. Cairns can increase impacts on sensitive sites and are frequently constructed with artifacts like grinding, construction or shrine stones.

Use rubber-tipped hiking poles

Pay your fees

Don’t build fire rings

Go to the bathroom away from sites

Historic trash isn’t garbage

Don’t grind in grinding slicks
