* Weather
* Terrain
* Regulations/restrictions
* Private land boundaries
* Average hiking speed of group n anticipated food consumption (leftovers create waste which leaves a trace!)
* Group size (does it meet regulations, trip purpose and Leave No Trace criteria?)
Meal Planning
Meals are another element to trip planning that can have a profound effect on the impact a group has on a backcountry area.
Benefits of Good Meal Planning:
* Reduced trash.
* Reduced pack weight, resulting in faster hiking times and less fatigue.
* Reduced dependence upon campfires for cooking.
