It's mind boggling how people travel to these locations and don't pay attention. I noticed that at the Grand Canyon with folks ignoring warning signs and crossing on loose rock areas on the Bright Angel trail to take snapshots for Aunt Frida, or hiking in flip flops.
I saw it extensively in the Smokies on steep mountain climbs last week. Folks hiking to the waterfalls in flip flops and one guy barefoot. Saw another nosepicker ignore the signs and got very close to a large elk buck and started making mating calls to it. Or folks trying to get snapshots of a bear with their sony P&S cameras.
I'm just amazed that these folks don't understand that they could get seriously hurt or get killed due to their eating crap in these mountain locations.
I've been close to the edge of horseshoe bend to photograph it and I've been extremely cautious making sure both my gear and my person is safe. Yet I've seen folks there, mainly young tourists sun bathing close to the edge of the cliffs.
Unreal!
