I still remember my English teacher waayyyy back in 9th grade,
let's just say it was *cough* 70's *cough*.
We must have been reading something to do with Yellowstone,
because she shared that one of the summers before
she and her family witnessed a young child falling into one of the
Emerald Pools (if memory serves).
The child literally boiled in front of all of them on the walkway.
I've been to Yellowstone several times and I cannot believe
the number of people who think it's ok to walk on the delicate crust.
To add to the Grand Canyon items:
Yes, it's true that MUCH of the Canyon rim is NOT guarded at all.
If you walk too close you WILL slip, as the edges are grainy with sandy dirt.
