The beauty of Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park has earned them high rankings among the most 'picturesque' national parks in America. But park officials and local conservation leaders are reminding visitors that with recognition comes responsibility.
"picturesque" national parks in America. But park officials and local conservation leaders are reminding visitors that with recognition comes responsibility.
Peter Densmore, Bryce Canyon National Park spokesman, told St. George News that national parks have experienced a significant increase due to social media engagement during the last decade. He said it provides an opportunity to reach new audiences and connect with a vibrant community of park supporters.
"Social media can have a powerful influence on how we enjoy these shared places, and we encourage everyone who loves their national parks to help us promote good stewardship both in person and online," he said. The travel information site Places To Travel recently conducted a study examining Instagram hashtag data and the size of each U.S. national park to find the one with the highest hashtags per acre, according to a news release.
