Those people seem like the kind that would see any publicity as good publicity. It is amazing how many a-holes you run into when you visit national parks. It is nowhere near as bad as any of these incidents but the first time I visited Arches we hiked up to Delicate Arch to get sunset pictures, along with about 300 other people. There was a couple that decided it would be a perfect setting for their engagement photos. They set up under the arch with photographers snapping picture and picture. There were tons of people wanting to get their picture taken under the arch or to get the arch minus people in a picture and this couple and their photographer just wouldn't move. Eventually some woman totally lost it on them and they stepped aside. After that people would go stand under their arch snap a photo then move on, and once the sun started setting everyone else was polite enough to get out of the way for the sunset pictures. I guess the point is out of about 300 people there were 3 that felt they were entitled to do whatever they want, while the rest were very polite and respectful of the area and each other. It is too bad that the a-holes just put a damper on the entire experience.
i can't even wrap my head around this. In what universe do 90 people just leave their tents, rented or not,behind?I suppose this belongs here...

Like everything else........a lot of people think only of themselves, self gratification and what's in it for me, it's mine and I can do what I want....
Or their drive for YouTube subscriptions is making them blind to the wanton destruction and extreme danger.
The 'High On Life' group strikes again, this time in Utah's salt flats. These guys are becoming a menace to our wild spaces.

It's too bad their RV didn't sink to the axles like most vehicles that venture onto the salt flats.
Wouldn't it be terrific if they got arrested and were sentenced to community service - picking up trash and leading LNT talks?I think those High on Life guys need to try base jumping into an active volcano.
Ugh, these self entitled a-holes are the worst. Especially their attention whore "we'll donate money to yellowstone if you hashtag us" bs.
