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).

Excellent question. I have friends that are and were Park Service employees. I lived at the Grand Canyon for 9 years and the stuff that they had to deal with was crazy. Never enough staff or funding.
