And strollers! Why do people think national parks and recreation areas are like city parks!

Witnessed a lot of stupidity at Mt. Rainier National Park a few days ago. On the trail we took, parts of it was snow covered on a steep slope. The sign posted recommended an ice axe, although hiking poles were sufficient. However, we watched several people navigate these areas in sandals and no poles at all. All it would have taken was one slip in those sandals, and they would have fallen down the mountain. I cannot believe people can be so cavalier about their lives.
I hope the sign also said what the ice axe/poles is/are for, because I'd bet that not one person in a hundred knows how to use them to stop their sorry selves from sliding off a mountain.

A young couple with one small bottle of water each and wearing flip flops started out while we were there. Commented to the ranger "how long before they need to be rescued"? Ranger said "I give them maybe 3 hours". It was two before they had to be taken out because their flip flops melted and they were suffering from dehydration.
