(YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK) Officials at Yellowstone National park are investigating a New York photographer who posted drone photos taken in the park last week.

Drone use in Yellowstone National Park is prohibited, and it’s illegal to fly drones in most national parks.

Thermal features are a big attraction for visitors to the park, and the biggest park supporters keep a close eye on how visitors treat these rare wonders.

Morgan Warthin, spokesperson for Yellowstone National Park, said the photos are creating an uproar: “The photo was posted on Instagram and stewards of the park shared the photo with us and we were able to share it with Law Enforcement Rangers so they could initiate an investigation.”

1. Ha ha

Nothing like providing your own evidence for your illegal activity.

I have a drone license and this is like Drone 101. It is mentioned among the first couple of things you cannot do.

And the rest of the drone community is disappointed that they are denied access to such great sites that they go ballistic when they see someone violating it.
