Desert Safety Tips

  • Plan ahead and prepare - carry maps
    and check the weather forecast.
  • Carry WATER and drink frequently.
  • Use sunscreen, wear a hat, and
    good walking shoes.
  • Stay on trail - the desert is fragile.
  • Never go alone - always travel in pairs,
    tell someone when you plan to return.

In a Vehicle

  • Stay with your vehicle if stuck, a vehicle
    is much easier to find than a person
  • Know your vehicle
  • Carry extra food, water (5 gallons per vehicle),
    shelter, and signaling devices.
