I applaud the passage of the EXPLORE Act with freedom to film in National Parks! I urge caution and not to abuse the opportunity though, and encourage outdoor enthusiasts to share responsibly. Think safety and if a spot can handle a sudden influx of crowds. #RecreateResponsibly #ParksChat #Outdoors
