Safety First Our land is both beautiful and unforgiving. Even the most experienced outdoors people should travel with a guide in unknown areas. Your licenced guide is trained in emergency techniques and is familiar with wilderness survival. If you do plan to travel in the wilderness on your own, please let someone know where you are going and when to expect you back, before you leave, so we know where to look for you, if that becomes necessary.
