Leave No Trace 
Mark Elliott & Jerry Vandiver  

Beyond the signs and the tire tracks
Past the point where I don’t look back
There’s a place that calls to me
Where the wind and water speaks

  Keep it wild, leave it free
  For those who walk here after me
  From the desert sands to the glacier lakes
  I’ll make my mark and leave no trace   

I see this place just like a child
It’s as fragile as it is wild
It’s in my care but I believe
I need it more than it needs me, so I 

  Keep it wild, leave it free 
  For those who walk here after me 
  From the desert sands to the glacier lakes 
  I’ll make my mark and leave no trace

  I can give or I can take
 The choice is mine to make   

 Repeat Chorus
