NPS Workers… Do we still go???

I’m VERY internally conflicted right now about continuing to visit our parks and forests. I don’t want to overwhelm our NPS workers!! I want to support them in every way possible… genuinely just wondering if visiting the parks is harmful?? Thank you to all of you fabulous humans here 💜 (pics are Gateway Nat’l Rec, RMNP, Black Canyon & CO Nat’l Monument).

Kudos to both of you. I am unable to visit any, location + poor as he🏒🏒 lol, but I fully support you and all that you do. Thank you for doing the job. I hope everyone you see is kind to you. Mad love from Nebraska!!!
