Litter is the bane of a Park Rangers’s life. Deer, bears, and marmots will try to eat your trash. You don’t want a deer’s teeth to fall out, do you? #CleanYourCamp

If you knew him, either from his tick safety workshops or his “famous” pine cone collection, please say a prayer for our lost ranger Gus M Burnside. Your words of encouragement would mean a lot to his family while local law enforcement continues the search. #ComeBackGus
