“Is this something that just bothers me specifically, or is this something that is a safety concern?”
If it’s something that endangers other people or the environment — throwing rocks off a cliff onto a trail below or building a campfire during a fire ban — Matias suggests reaching out to park officials. But if you’re in a wilderness setting, Mapp suggests acting with empathy & respect, rather than accusation. Start, for example, by learning where the other person is coming from and why they may be acting in a certain way.
