 Enjoy - Explore alpine slopes, discover unique plant and animal species in rainforest areas, collect shells and driftwood on quiet shorelines, study Indian artifacts and reach unobtrusive observation spots for spawning salmon, eagles and other wildlife.
Respect - All wildlife in our parks is protected— this means no hunting. Burning is not permitted in "fire season" when the forest is dangerously dry. Cutting trees isn't allowed but, in most parks, branches or driftwood can be collected for fires.
Plan Ahead - Potable water may not be available in some of the more isolated marine parks so plan ahead... you may want to stay a while. Don’t forget your camera, along with extra batteries and film or memory cards.
