Hike Like a MOPO Local

¿Vas a explorar Silver Falls, Shellburg Falls o cualquiera de las impresionantes rutas de senderismo cercanas a Salem? Hacer senderismo por aquí significa que te estás adentrando en la parte más «Oregón» de Oregón (MOPO). Ayudemos a que siga siendo un lugar bonito, acogedor y salvaje con estos breves consejos para las rutas:

Pack It In, Pack It Out

If you brought it, take it home—snack wrappers, orange peels, dog poop bags, all of it. Leaving no trace is how we protect the places we love.

Share the Trail

Uphill hikers have the right of way. Step aside when you're heading downhill, yield to horses, and bike-riders should allow foot-travelers the right of way. Say a friendly “hello” as you pass -- even if you’re out of breath -- It’s what makes hiking here special.

Stay Aware of Your Surroundings

Keep music low or pop out one earbud. You’ll want to hear birds, oncoming hikers, or a surprise view through the trees.

Don’t Count on Cell Service

Plenty of trails around here are out of range. Download a map or bring a paper one so you don’t get stuck guessing at that trail split.

Bring the Basics

Even on short hikes, pack water, snacks, sunscreen, layers, and a small first-aid kit. A flashlight or headlamp is smart too—sunsets sneak up on you out here.

Hiking with Your Dog?

Leash up unless a sign says otherwise and always pack out their waste. Keep your dog close, calm, and trail-friendly to keep it safe for everyone.

Stay on the Trail

Going off-trail damages plants and causes erosion. Stick to the path and help protect Oregon’s fragile ecosystems.

safety first: don't hike alone

Bring a buddy, unless you are highly experienced, and even then, always share your location and expected return time before you hit the trail.

Hike Like a Local and Keep It MOPO

Respect the land, be kind to others, and hike like you belong—because you do.
