Why we can’t have nice things
One thing there is never a shortage of... American tourists making a mess. From state parks to the Capitol building, American tourists be wilding!
It’s good for people to explore the outdoors, but we Americans, myself included, need to develop deeper respect for the land.
What do you expect? People were told to stay home all last year, and want to get out and about now.
Um yes…we encountered human poop on the Mariposa Grove trail in Yosemite a few weeks ago.🤮🤮

Exactly what you would expect to happen if you let people out of their houses. When the delta variant to spike and STAT. vax2vote !
ChrisGeorgeKC Apparently the virus has not culled enough of the ignoramouses
(Sigh)…humans.
Now this, is disturbing! Yet, what does staff have to do with cleaning poop on trails! It amazes me the amount of stupid in today's society!
Why are the parks not 'Limiting' of people? They have that authority to do so....'just do it US State Parks US National Parks or 'covid' will start spreading again..
Idiots ruining these great places for the rest of us.
Nasty people.
Because people suck.
Make public land private
JEEZUS!!!🤦♀️
Limit the number of visitors.
People are really awful. Why litter in a national park 😤
So, the national parks are becoming more like Democrat-run San Francisco! Human feces and litter :)
Humans are the pandemic
😂
That’s shitty.
Americans. Pathetic.
Nice, go crap on the beautiful soil of your own country. Thanks, NP tourists.
This should be an opportunity. Americans want to enjoy the natural beauty of their country, and the government should help them to do it. Litter is bad but should not be the primary story.
overpopulation
I went to the Utah parks last October. I t was the same
' . . . don't seem to understand the parks' environmental protection mission or that wildlife is indeed wild, while others arrive ill-prepared for the harshness of nature.' I'm not speechless on the subject. I just have nothing nice to say.
good money says that DNA from the shit on the trails, matches with DNA from the shit terrorists smeared on the Capitol walls....
Maybe people should have to take a test and sign an affidavit before being allowed in.
Decent human consideration is in short supply this summer. Too many people forgot their manners over this last year's covid lockdown and 'elitism' is running rampant. I live in a gaming/hospitality/tourism driven community and our employees are done. 😞 It's sad & maddening.
Can’t wait for the cruise lines to start sailing and the all-inclusive places to start opening so they can all go back to those vacations and stop trashing the National Parks.
So people who don't respect nature are now visiting the National Parks. Great. 😒
Dogs on trails, drones… 😡😡😡
Easy. Half visitors should go to international parks.
Gross!
Me to the people pooping on trails and littering:
Because there is a certain type of people who thinks America is here to wipe their asses with.
Let's make more parks
You have to keep up with these radical Americans.
People are the worst. Yes Enjoy the outdoors but please don’t hurt our mother earth with litter and plastic and trash and SHIT?! Bloody hell I hate people.
You promote the erasure of women when you praised this disgusting person’s book. Shame on you.
