On that note, I've been wandering around in Utah this week on a vacation, which included a stop at Bryce Canyon. It astounds me that you can park in an area with a nice formal parking lot and then walk to a place where there's a vertical 500-foot drop that has nothing to stop you from walking over the edge. The trail runs about six feet in parallel with absolutely certain death, and there are a hundred tourists wandering around. I get the willies getting within ten feet of the edge, in part because I don't want to trip on a pebble and go over and in part because I don't want some teenage kid or surly boomer to give me a shove when I'm near it. I also don't want to see someone accidentally backing over it during a selfie.
