    One additional rule I like to go by is as old as the hills but as true today as back then….. Leave nothing but footprints and take nothing but photographs.

    People visiting the National Parks should be required to see this video, or something like this. Evidently they don’t know the proper trail etiquette as we’ve seen during this government shutdown.
