The Seven Days of Leave No Trace

The Seven Principles of Leave No Trace guide backcountry users to make the decisions that result in minimal impact on the environment.

We would like to share some insight into the Leave No Trace ethics which are specific to Grand Canyon National Park, so sit back and enjoy our Backcountry Information Center’s poetic podcast series, “The Seven Days of Leave No Trace.”

Each link will take you to a separate webpage where audio and video versions of the podcasts may be played or downloaded. Transcripts are also available.
