It doesn't show that the park face many challenges but people
trying to build more buildings in the land of the park and people
abusing the park. So if you go there you should treat the park
good.So don't litter or throw stuff on the ground.
Since the park is so close to Yellowstone it shares many of the same
characteristics of the park . Allot of snow and very very very
beautiful scenes, and nature. Just a couple more things .Don't
forget you camera and take the whole family because this park is a
great fun place for kids and adults. just remember t o stay a good
distance away from animals and non designated swimming water.
