When tourists visit California’s Yosemite National Park, they expect to
see stunning waterfalls and towering rock formations in the pristine wilderness. Now, park rangers are warning of a less-than-pleasant sight.
In a social media post on Monday, the National Park shared photos of used toilet paper and a nearly full roll of unused TP recently discarded near Rancheria Falls.
“Unfortunately, this is a sight that’s become all too familiar in
Yosemite, even in wilderness areas,” the post read. “Nobody wants to
stumble upon a surprise package left behind by an anonymous outdoor enthusiast.”
There are plenty of obvious reasons why visitors shouldn’t leave used
toilet paper behind. But if the impact on unsuspecting tourists isn’t
enough of a deterrent, the park also offers these scenarios:
“It’s easily exposed by weather and erosion, and animals can dig it up and disperse it long before it decomposes (which can take 1-3 years, depending
on conditions),” the park said. “Some animals may even use it for nesting material.”
As part of its #LeaveNoTrace messaging, Yosemite rangers urge visitors to
“keep things clean and classy” by packing out whatever they carry in,
which includes all types of waste.
“You can bring a sealable plastic baggie to stash it in, and even cover
the bag in tape so you don’t have to look at it,” they said.
Last year, Yosemite also took to social media, urging visitors to knock
over any human-made rock towers known as cairns they might encounter.
