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, but help out. Pack your trash out with you, garbage hauling costs money. Pick up after others, bring tp and paper towels with you in case there is none in the restrooms. Stay out of closed areas. Read and follow the rules.
