RULES

,What will the 2019 Season/Year bring?

According to one of our unofficial but reliable sources, rules that for the most part existed but were not always followed or enforced, will be, in 2019. The following paragraph has been inserted in our otherwise generic info on rules.

in 2019 look forward to: Hikers will be required to sign paperwork (consent to the civil jurisdiction of the Havasuapi Tribe.) when checking in, agreeing to rules and regulations being upheld (some examples: citations and confiscation of phones/cameras if caught taking pictures in designated no-picture zones, littering, alcohol, drones, jumping/diving from cliffs/falls, going off trail, etc…). Citations and fines may be levied, with challenges being referred to State court and in some instance, Federal court.

You or your group leader will have to fill out certain documents when you check in.  One of which is that you have been advised as to the latest rules.

If a group leader checks you in, that person is responsible to advise all group members of the local rules.   Pretty much what we will touch on at numerous places in our website.
