Upon planning our trips in class this article caught my eye of tips for safety in our national parks. My group chose to go to a few national parks on our trip around Alaska, so these tips would come in handy if you were to go. When a person is trying to get the perfect picture it can be easy to forget about your surrounding and misplace your foot or forget where you are. Depending on the terrain, weather, and wildlife a small mess up could cost you your life.
A few things that are really important from this article are to remember to look at a map of the area before you go and try to stay on tails. Also if you are unprepared for the kind of weather of the state you could get caught in some nasty weather. With this always dress the part and bring and emergency kit tailored to the area. One last major thing is to bring a buddy or tell one where you are going and for how long. This is so if you are not back by a few hours after you said they can begin to try to locate you to make sure you are safe. The article also brought up to respect the wildlife which is another good thing to remember before you head out to the national parks.
