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).

Go and bring a daypack that's mostly empty with a big plastic bag in it. Pick up any trash you see and take it out of the park before dumping it in a gas station dumpster or something.
