Hiking is one of the best ways to enjoy Summit County. Whether you’re hiking alone or in a group, be sure to follow the written and unwritten rules of the trail. Proper hiking etiquette helps instill respect for other trail users, and it promotes stewardship of the land. More often than not, hiking etiquette is synonymous with common courtesy… treat others as you wish to be treated!
