Public Lands PSA: Don’t park where you aren’t supposed to!
As I was arriving back at my car after a hike on the Endless Wall Trail this morning, I came across this situation… Cars parked all over the parking area in places where they weren’t supposed to be, including in spots reserved for emergency vehicles!
People, I understand that you’ve heard how amazing this trail, and I encourage you to check it out if you get the chance! But if you didn’t get there early enough to find a parking spot, don’t make one up that will cause issues for other visitors! There are plenty of other incredible trails in the area that you can visit, just go somewhere else!
This is meant to shame people or try to discourage people from experiencing these beautiful lands. Instead, it’s to encourage you to explore responsibly! If that means finding another trail, that’s ok! Wake up earlier the next morning to give it another shot!
Please love these areas and also the other people who are there to visit! If you are new to the outdoor world, welcome! If you have any questions about how to travel responsibly, reach out or ask a local!
We want everyone to feel welcomed and supported outside, but we also want to help teach how that is done in the right way.
Thanks for reading this, now get outside and explore responsibly!
