You close the attractions down and or throw up a lengthy permit process. Here in PA too many stupid selfie drones were falling off the waterfalls of Glen Onko (straining/exhausting rescuers). It’s A great place to hike up alongside fairly huge waterfalls. It’s now shut down unfortunately. It was the 1st to 2nd most popular hike in PA.

> Glen Onko Oh goddammit, I went there when I was a young child and always wanted to go back but didn't know the name (and my parents forgot.) Now I finally learn the name and find out I can't go back..

      It's probably a good idea to evaluate the consequences. By all means, do not take the popular narrative at face-value, but it would probably be informative to investigate the details behind implementing the barriers. The full moon offers opportunities to minimize risk.

        Walking on the Franz Joseph glacier at night under a full moon is one of the most visually stunning things I have ever seen - very other-worldly. I definitely ignored the barrier and the signs, and it was definitely wildly unsafe to do it alone. It was well worth it even so e.g. glacial blue ice looks very different from snow.

  Its in Jim Thorpe, PA which is a cool town named after an Olympic athlete who never stepped foot in the town. His 2nd ex-wife snatched/sold and moved his cadaver to the town formerly known as East Manchauk (sp?). His sons who were in their 80s a few years ago tried to get the PA Supreme Court to move his body back to the rightful burial place (Oklahoma). Though without Glen Onko being open I won't be visiting Thorpe.

  Ummm the best part hiking alongside and beneath the the falls and up to the top of each one is closed. Not worth going there anymore!
