I will remember that the land I am traveling on is not mine, but borrowed from future generations. The trail is a neighbor to many homes and businesses. I will respect their privacy, as I would expect others to respect mine.
I understand that I am not the only guest to share this great outdoors. There are others from all walks of life who seek the same privilege of using this land just like me. I will also respect the wild creatures who were here long before me.
I will take time to slow my journey, if only to experience the beauty of the season and to enjoy this trail I love. I will remember the Golden Rule: Keeping each other safe is everyone's responsibility.
I will leave no blight of litter or abuse on this gift of freedom from life's often sameness.
Trail use is a privilege, not a right. Remember, the key to the future of trails in Vermont is permission from a landowner.
