How guides are prepared

We compare current information from official park, tribal, transportation, land-management, and local-operator sources. Where access, fees, safety, or rules can change, guides show source links and checked dates. If authoritative sources conflict or do not support a claim, we hold the claim or the page rather than guess.

What a figure on this site is allowed to show

Every photograph, map and chart carries a caption naming what it shows, the credit or data source behind it, and the date the underlying facts were checked. A map pin is a coordinate from a named gazetteer record. A date on a calendar figure is a date a source states, never one inferred from prose. Where we hold no honest illustration of a place, the page shows data or type rather than a photograph of somewhere else.

Corrections and removals

Correction and removal requests are accepted by email at [email protected]. A correction that names the page, the sentence and the superseding source is usually actioned the same day.

Editorial prohibitions

1. No firsthand claims without a real, credited contributor.
2. No volatile access, fee, safety, or cultural claim without a dated authoritative source.
3. No sensitive cultural material without steward review.
4. No reproduced prices, which go stale faster than we can recheck them.
