With Thanksgiving Week bringing the holiday season in at full speed, travel advisories and warnings are being sent out across the country.
The Grand Canyon National Park Service shared a striking picture of visitors sliding down an icy trail Monday, using it as a clear example of what not to do.
“The top part of Grand Canyon trails are icy! Don’t risk it – like these folks.,” the tweet read, reminding hikers to wear traction on their shoes and take trekking poles on November hikes.
One day after the warning, the National Weather Service put the Canyon under a winter storm warning, prompting one entrance to the park to close in anticipation of 8 to 21 inches of snow.
