Leave
No Trace: Please Leave
No Trace of your stay to help protect park resources and to

Fires: Fires are not allowed on this trail
inside the national park or in other areas above 3,500 feet.
Wildlife Precautions: Save the Bears! Secure food, garbage
and scented items from bears and other wildlife 24 hours a day.
When bear obtain human food, they become habituated to camping areas
and often become aggressive towards people. They may also damage
packs or tents to get at food or other smelly items. Do not feed
any wild animals! Bear canisters are recommended
along this trail - hanging food is very difficult due to the size
of trees at Lake of the Angeles.
