RE: Boulder Sunday at Big Gunpowder Falls State Park Near Notchcliff
What a beautiful area and so many cool Boulders, its always a shame when people mess it up for others with the trash and campfires

Thank you @tattoodjay!! I can't help but wonder how it will look once the Fall colors start appearing. I was really surprised about the issues I found. I've been to many parts of the Gunpowder and still not seen it all but this was the first time I saw quite a bit of littering. I also wondered if some of it could have been caught up in and carried by the water. 🤔
It should be interesting to see in Fall, the park from your other posts looks so beautiful and a shame to see people showing no respect for it, and you raise a good point the trash they leave behind could be washed away into the waterways and do even more damage to the environment
The one area that we go to frequently is closed off right now. The big parking lot is closed off and filled with maintenance trucks. It is suppose to reopen late Fall. There are still lots of areas to visit though and I'm going to try to get out to places I haven't been to yet as well. I'm still glad I visited here and would definitely do a return trip. I'm sure this area was packed with people recently with the holiday too. I'm very critical on littering. It was one thing that my mom instilled in me at a very young age..don't litter..I taught my children the same thing. 🙂
Yes I was the same my parents were big on not littering and passed that one to me, seeing it has always been a pet peeve for me
with the long weekend probably more people were there than normal so that could well be a factor
