Re “National Parks Feel the Stress of Trump’s Cuts” (news article, Aug. 30):
In August I visited four parks with my daughter on a cross-country trip: Zion, Grand Teton, Yellowstone and Badlands. It was clear that staffing has taken a serious hit.
Experienced rangers were noticeably absent. Many hikes had been canceled, and the few rangers we did encounter were young, primarily park interpreters; even they were in short supply. In contrast, the visitor centers and gift shops seemed well staffed.
