In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of national parks and explore the interesting behavior that can be observed within these amazing landscapes. From hazardous driving incidents to ill-prepared hikers, we discuss the unique experiences that make national parks even more interesting.

We strive to strike a balance between amusement and respectful observation, and hope you enjoy learning about the antics and misadventures that have taken place, leaving us amused and entertained.

In this episode, we cover:

  • National Park Visitor Bingo
  • The craziest things we see every time we are in the parks
  • Two Truths and a Lie
  • The people who put the wild in wildlife
  • The things people do for social media 
  • Why the buffalo is the king of beasts
  • Sports in the parks
  • Yes, the water in Yellowstone is boiling
  • Dumb things the park service has done

Many of these things are funny, but how we interact with these national parks has a significant impact, so it's important to know what to do and what not to do! 

We created a bingo card for all the unusual tourist behaviors we've observed on our National Park visits. Just to name a few: drivers abruptly stopping on highways to capture photos of mundane objects like trees; tourists struggling to open bear-proof garbage cans; first-time RV drivers; people feeding wildlife with their hands; visitors approaching wildlife for selfies; hiking in flip-flops; and many more.
