An art lover and writer in Beaverton, Oregon, William Rehm IV particularly appreciates writers in the beat and gonzo journalism movements. When he is not working on his short stories, William Rehm IV enjoys hiking on his favorite trails in the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest.
Housing 2,700 miles of trails, the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest can accommodate hikers of all ages and experience levels. Visitors should adhere to Leave No Trace guidelines, which instruct hikers and backpackers in ethical outdoor behaviors. Leave No Trace principles, which apply to all outdoor situations, involve planning and preparing for the weather and terrain.
Visitors to parks and forests should stick to established paths and camp on durable surfaces. They should also properly dispose of all waste, including garbage and human waste. When trash receptacles are not available, hikers should abide by the “Pack it in, pack it out” rule. Leave No Trace guidelines instruct visitors to outdoor areas to leave the space as they found it, refraining from taking natural objects as souvenirs. They should also fully extinguish and minimize the impact of their campfires. Finally, they should maintain respect for wildlife and other humans.
