LNT Recommendations for Getting Outside During COVID-19
Just because times are tough, doesn't mean the Leave No Trace 7 Principles fly out the window. Our shared spaces need us to act as stewards more than ever.
Remember, it is extremely important to prepare for winter weather conditions by having the proper gear, stick to trails, dispose of our waste properly, minimize fire impacts, leave what we find, keep a safe distance from wildlife, and do your best to eliminate general impacts. For the complete list of the Leave No Trace Seven Principles for the Adirondacks, please visit: https://www.adk.org/discover/leave-no-trace/
We are all in this together. Be considerate of others in the outdoors by ensuring that you practice physical distancing, meaning staying at least 6 feet away from anyone not living with you.
DID YOU KNOW...
9 out of 10 people in the outdoors are uninformed about their impacts?
Let's change that.
Leave No Trace provides research, education and initiatives so every person who ventures outside can protect and enjoy our world responsibly.

About Us
Happy Hiking,
from Lynne and Jennifer
As two avid hikers who are always looking for a new adventure, we created the concept of the Hiking Challenge Scratch Off Card. We were looking for a unique and fun way to log our hikes and track our progress, and the peakquest
scratch off card was born!
Each one of our beautiful scratch off cards will become a conversation piece that you will want to display and keep as a memory of all your hard work forever.
To view all of our hiking scratch off cards and other hiking related keepsakes, go to peakquest.org.
