JRscooby - NO, not saying Americans are too stupid to educate - but some just don't care. They may not realize one or two pieces of trash from each visitor adds up to a large pile eventually, or maybe just don't think about that impact.
We leave nothing in our site, ever, ours or any trash others leave.
And, I doubt anyone climbed down GC canyon walls and hauled that Drone out. But we do see visitors climbing and walking around areas that are marked 'off-limits', protected areas 'keep out', which are ignored.
We also welcome visitors from other nations - but from first hand experience, we see many visitors either don't care or don't know enough to clean up after themselves whether American or other nationality. If you've been to an major parks lately, you'll hear a very high proportion of languages you don't recognize, certainly more than one in a hundred.
And, no, of course I don't accept that some can pick and choose which rules to obey or not. Seems to me common sense is often absent when some folks visit our parks ... I have no idea why some folks toss trash all over, or simply leave it. OR, why some folks think a one-ton bison bull during rut season is pet-worthy.
