What You Can Do
Experience travel on foot or by bike: an eco-responsible approach
Exploring on foot or by bike is a different way of traveling – slower, deeper, and more sustainable. Here are a few simple yet powerful actions to reduce your footprint while fully enjoying your journey:
- Use official camping areas. Wild camping is not permitted in the park.
- Avoid campfires and don’t throw cigarette butts. Help preserve safety and cleanliness.
- Manage your waste: take everything you brought with you, including compostable and recyclable materials.
- Use a reusable water bottle to reduce plastic waste.
- Do not disturb plants, rocks, or natural objects. Leave nature untouched.
- Respect wildlife: observe from a distance, don’t feed the animals.
- Be courteous to other visitors. Respect fosters better shared experiences.
- Use designated sanitary facilities (washroom blocks or dry toilets).
- Choose active transportation, carpooling, or public transit to access the park.
