A man was seen strolling through Yellowstone’s protected Grand Prismatic area—in flip-flops—picking up hats, completely ignoring park rules and safety warnings. This isn’t just a quirky tourist story; walking on those fragile bacterial mats can destroy delicate ecosystems and put lives at risk. People online are furious, calling for real consequences, especially since past trespassers have faced jail time and bans. It’s wild to think someone would risk injury (or worse) for a lost hat. Should the park step up enforcement, or is public shaming enough to deter this kind of behavior? #Travel #Yellowstone #NationalParks
