The over-crowding is completely out of anyone's control, but for those trashing this incredible location, 40- minutes outside of Twin Falls, well that's just inexcusable.
Recent eruptions at Yellowstone National Park are proving that more than just gas and water vapor are inside the bellies of these ancient geysers, and it's reflecting badly on human beings.
I don't think blame should be placed on either boaters or kayakers. Let us not forget that people often hike into our favorite locations to spend the day, and they don't always pack their trash out with them.
