In this episode we go over some opinionated guidelines, unspoken rules, and etiquette principles that if we were all able to employ would make everyone's national park experience that much better. We elaborate on these 8 rules and go in detail on their overall benefit and how to implement them:

• Leaving no trace
• Leaving a place better than you left it. Ditching the "not my trash, not my problem" mentality
• Treating these pristine landscapes as you would a church or religious site
• Avoiding feeding wildlife
• Being mindful of who you're blocking and time spent in one picturesque spot
• Adopting the mind culture of another place or country
• Finding new and creative spots to disperse the crowds
• Halting loud music & Facetimes; Use airpods
