I enjoy the news from them along with some reviews.

Last year, four Canadian filmmakers were arrested after photos and a video were published showing them walking on off-limits geothermal features in Yellowstone National Park. Three of them pleaded guilty and will receive fines, community service and a little jail time.

Is it banned to walk there because people may hurt themselves or because they can ruin the attraction?

Both.  Those idiots could have damaged the site and got themselves seriously burned in the process.  Should have given them a big fine and thrown them in jail for a few days just for sheer stupidity.

Very strange people. If they know it's banned, they shouldn't have entered the territory. Even if they did, sharing the video was a big mistake. Very expensive one I'd say.
