Tourists: Nature’s Most Adorable Trashfires Ever Seen
Danielle Jackson, a park ranger with years in US national and state parks, witnessed tourists' greatest hits of idiocy: 'assuming they'll have cell service,' and joyfully ignoring trail markers, causing parks to protect themselves from humans. Her advice? Check websites lest you crash into a rockslide, and remember: if you meet a bear, 'make yourself look tall & never run.'
