Читать книгу Hike the Parks: Rocky Mountain National Park - Brendan Leonard - Страница 63

Respecting wildlife is actually a formal law in Rocky Mountain National Park. Visitors are prohibited from handling or bothering wildlife in any way, and you should attempt to keep at least 75 feet (23 m) between yourself and any wild animal you encounter. In addition, feeding such creatures alters their behaviors and can make them aggressive. It can lead to injuries, and in some cases, the park may be forced to euthanize the aggressive animal.

A sign marks the start of the Sprague Lake Nature Trail, a 1-mile loop that’s wheelchair-friendly and good for families too (Hike 3).
