I've done loads of research pieces on various aspects of the park from the Morning Glory Pool to the wolves. People are fucking assholes there. They don't realize it's really untamed for the most part, and that their presence can hugely effect the ecology. Hate people.
Oh, yeah, the Morning Glory Pool thing pisses me right off. It wasn't uncommon to find trash littered in and near the geysers and springs. We've got all these unique natural wonders, and people don't give a shit.
Check out the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. That was probably my favorite part, and the pictures don't do it justice.
