Review geology-related safety guidance for overlooks, unstable slopes, wet rock, loose material, and off-trail hazards.
Paper maps, patience, and respect for closure signs still beat improvisation in geology-sensitive districts.
Stay on Marked Routes |
Unstable cuts, hidden drop-offs, slick rock, and loose deposits make casual shortcutting more hazardous than it appears. |
Do Not Collect |
Removing rock, fossils, or mineral material is prohibited and can damage fragile context even when the specimen looks loose or already exposed. |
Report Changes |
Fresh cracks, sudden new debris, altered markers, or recently blocked routes should be reported to a ranger station as soon as practical. |
