• Be prepared for limited access to public restrooms or water fountains.
• Share the trail and warn other trail users of your presence and as you pass.
• Observe CDC's minimum recommended physical distancing of 6' from other persons at all times.

Washington State's Pledge Guidance says to:

• Choose open & local public lands near you.
• Join household members only at this time.
• Bring everything you'll need. Gas up beforehand.
