Multiple deaths, injuries in Utah bus crash outside Bryce Canyon National Park

Multiple deaths, injuries in Utah bus crash outside Bryce Canyon National Park

You believe that visiting a national park is only about breathing clean air, seeing amazing scenery, and possibly getting the side-eye from some bears? Slow down, my friend! A portion of these ostensibly perfect retreats have a dangerous element to them that is more about “great, I hope I make it back to my car alive” than it is about the “great outdoors.” The United States national parks may be a mixed mixture of calm beauty and heart-pounding hazard due to their unpredictable weather, lurking wildlife, and steep paths. Please understand that we are not attempting to frighten you off. However, we want you to be the savviest traveler who understands how to appreciate the outdoors without making news.

We’re going to explore the amazing and sometimes dangerous world of national parks, so get your bear spray and put on your best hiking boots. Be alert and cautious as adventure is around the corner!

Let’s begin with Yellowstone National Park, where you can awe at the geysers and quickly come to regret your decision after experiencing those bubbling hot springs up close. Warning: these beauties can cause third-degree burns more quickly than you can say, “I should have stayed home.” They’re not just for soaking your feet. Not to mention the wildlife—nothing says “vacation” quite like getting gored in the middle of trying to take a picture of a bison. Recall that these are wild animals. Therefore, unless you want to include a trip to the emergency department in your schedule, stay away.

Yes, the Grand Canyon is magnificent, but it also serves as a harsh reminder of the might of nature. You could feel like a fearless mountain goat gazing down those breathtakingly sheer cliffs, but one false move might literally send your trip plummeting to the bottom. Not to mention the hazardous rock squirrels that reside there and are just ready to bite you. Think again if you assumed that the view was the only extreme experience available here.Because of the sudden changes in weather, you could find yourself freezing your ass off or perspiring profusely in one day. Thus, prepare sensibly, avoid the edge, and save the drama for your trip Instagram shots rather than your survival narrative.
