• Stay on established roads and trails where provided. All vehicles, including  mountain bikes, are required to stay on roads. 
• When hiking cross-country, minimize your impact on the land. Walk in dry, sandy washes if weather permits. Cross slickrock and other hard-surface areas.
• Avoid cryptobiotic crusts, the dark mixture of mosses, lichens, fungi, bacteria, and algae that binds and enriches desert soils and prevents erosion. 
• Keep group sizes small.
• Picket pack and saddle stock away from campsites and water sources. Please carry pellet feed for your animals, because grain and hay will spread weed seeds.
• Dogs threaten wildlife and lessen your chances of seeing wild animals. If you choose to bring a pet, it must be kept on a leash not longer than six feet. Pets are not allowed in Rainbow Bridge National Monument.
• Remember–this terrain is dry country! Drink plenty of water, keep your body shaded and cool, and wear appropriate footwear and clothing. 	
• Inform friends of your itinerary and plans.
