Grand Teton National Park

Essay | Plan, Think, And Don’t Be Stupid In A National Park

Photographer Rebecca Latson recently completed a 3-week road trip and move from southeast Texas up to central Washington State. During that time, she visited five national parks. In those parks, she saw some pretty stupid stuff such as litter, people driving faster than the posted speed limit, and poor choices in hiking footwear, to name a few things. Rebecca wrote an article of her observations, which are a good reminder for us all to do some planning and be a little more thoughtful of how we treat our national parks as guests.

Grand Teton Rangers Spend Night In The Mountains To Rescue Teens

The U.S. Postal Service has nothing on National Park Service rangers when it comes to going out into the "gloom of night" when help is needed. A teen who was banged up by a 30-foot-or-so fall while climbing with a buddy in Grand Teton National Park owes a world of thanks to the park's rangers for hiking deep into the night, and high into the park, to rescue them.
