Felt cute. Might regret immediately. We get it---national parks have some great opportunities for photo-ops. While we want you to capture all the splendors of a park, we also want you to avoid getting hurt, awkward wildlife encounters, and just taking really unflattering pictures. You’ll thank us.
If you want to take a picture of wildlife, give them room and use your zoom. If you are close enough to take a selfie, you are wayyyy too close. If you see an animal, you are responsible for backing up to a safe distance, even if the animal moves toward you. Make good choices and take great selfies!
