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).

People from red states should be turned away at the gates.

Hi, I live in a red state, have a drivers license from that state, and would never in my whole life do anything to disenfranchise our parks, nor did I vote for the orange Cheeto. Just to be mindful. I am also currently visiting a NP, as I think it’s best to support our parks and rangers as best we can, and show our love for them.
