The Southwest’s mesmerizing landscapes—dramatic slot canyons, sweeping deserts, and red rock vistas—are more than just a feast for the eyes. They are home to delicate ecosystems, sacred cultural sites, and centuries of natural and human history. Exploring these areas requires more than curiosity—it demands responsibility. Leave No Trace (LNT) principles provide a practical and ethical framework for enjoying these environments while preserving them for future generations. At All Ways Adventure, we embrace LNT as part of our commitment to responsible exploration. Whether you’re canyoneering through stunning narrows, hiking off-the-beaten-path trails, or rappelling down sandstone cliffs, our expert guides help you experience the Southwest while leaving minimal impact. Here’s how to adapt the seven LNT principles to your Southwest adventures—and how All Ways Adventure can help you go beyond, go guided, and go responsibly.

As we celebrate Native American Heritage Month , we reflect on the long-standing connection between Indigenous communities and the lands we love to explore. These peoples, with their rich history, culture, and relationship to the land, have shaped the Southwest for thousands of years. All year long, it’s vital for visitors to deepen their understanding of these sacred places, not only as scenic destinations but also as living history and cultural treasures. The Southwest is home to some of the most remarkable archaeological sites, ancient pictographs and petroglyphs, and sacred cultural landscapes that are integral to the identity of Indigenous peoples. As adventurers, hikers, and explorers, it is our responsibility to honor and respect these spaces—this is especially true during Native American Heritage Month when we have the opportunity to reflect on their history, contributions, and ongoing stewardship of the land.  Below, we will explore how we can engage with the Southwest responsibly, the importance of preserving cultural heritage, and the twenty Visit with Respect tips to help visitors protect these fragile landscapes. But beyond just practical tips, this guide will offer insight into why these actions are important and how we can each make a difference in ensuring these sites are preserved.
