we hate to see the National Parks staff being cut ! Our Parks belong to to the people of the USA and are enjoyed year round by multitudes of visitors. And I now see that some of the Park lands are in jeopardy. DISGRACEFUL !!!

Rangers & staff are putting in double time due to the cuts to seasonal hiring.
The park is, as always, a wonderful place to camp & spend time.
Visitors need to be mindful of their surroundings:
Pick-up your trash. Keep the bathrooms & shower stalls as nice for the next person as you would have it for yourself. Make an effort to maintain this beautiful place for the visiting humans AND the wildlife that calls this place Home.
And, PLEASE, remember to watch out for all critters & teach your children to do the same. Don't chase them please. They're just trying to live.
The pony Ranger was missed this year. We were informed that she was "on furlough". Laura is the Human highlight of the Pony Pen. Always personable & happy to answer visitors questions & concerns. Hope to see her back on the job next June on our return.
You have some excellent staff & we hope they will be recognized as such!
