I actually witnessed a guy with a selfie stick walk backwards over the rim once. The stunts around the canyon are just unbelievable..

Is he single? He's hot and cares about nature.

NPS employee here. Please also:

Do not build cairns or rock art near and rivers. It's bad for the amphibians, fish, aquatic insects and lizards.

Put your dog on a leash (some people don't think your dog is cute.)

Don't carve into trees.

Quit being friendly with the deer. That leads to them approaching more roads, and more fatalities. Part of the job is actually hazing wildlife away from roads and campgrounds, this is such a problem.

Put your dog on a leash (other dogs on leashes don't think your dog is cute.)

Don't litter. Just don't. Take it out with you. Orange & banana peels can take weeks to decompose. Until they do, we're stuck looking at it. Just don't litter.

Put your dog on a leash (they're not getting any less enriched, I promise.)

And please take the doggy bag full of YOUR dog's poop out with you.
