The April 13 issue includes a photo that shows a young woman standing in front of Old Faithful geyser on the dirt and off the constructed boardwalk (“On the road with America’s sightseers”). It is a well-publicized fact that it is illegal to be off trail at Old Faithful or, in fact, in any of Yellowstone National Park’s developed thermal areas. I would have thought better of HCN than to publish such an egregious picture.
