Q7. National Parks and public lands are getting cellular coverage in them, what do you think about this? #hikerchat

A7: Good for search and rescue. There's going to be negative aspects to everything but there's also a lot of good. #hikerchat

replying to @TETONsports @TETONsports A7. Absolutely terrible idea. How are the wild animals going to afford mobile phones on the amount they're paid? #hikerchat

A7: Good for safety, but it can and will affect people's experiences. #hikerchat https://t.co/98T2NaY9es

A7 went to the Sierra last weekend and had cell the whole time. I was conflicted. My wife kept texting me pictures of shoes #hikerchat

replying to @TETONsports @TETONsports A7. Good for GPS/safety I guess, but feels like modern world creeping into the natural one. #HikerChat

A7. It was nice in Yellowstone to not have coverage in so many places. Nature is enough of a distraction #hikerchat https://t.co/Nl5N7tYSui

replying to @TETONsports @TETONsports A7. Given current affairs, I'll just be happy we still have them. Anything else is gravy. #hikerchat

A7. It's a reflection of cultural changes, which is good. Parks aren't static. Don't like it? Turn off your phone. #hikerchat

replying to @TETONsports @TETONsports A7) Good & bad, it could help w/ search & rescue but be a distraction from nature as well. #HikerChat

replying to @TETONsports @TETONsports A7 Mixed feelings. I guess it's inevitable in our technological world. Could be a lifesaver for people. 🤷 #hikerchat

replying to @TETONsports @TETONsports @Wild_Tribute A7 #hikerchat I've changed my mind—I'm for it in appropriate areas. Cell coverage adds accessibility for public.

replying to @TETONsports @TETONsports A7 I don't like it. Trouble is in order to "connect" with a younger generation, you have to do It electronically. #hikerchat

A7 good for safety reasons but otherwise not needed I think #HikerChat

replying to @TETONsports @TETONsports A7: Don't like it but it could get more young people into the parks. I will always turn my phone off on a hike. #hikerchat

replying to @TETONsports @TETONsports A7 I think it should be at visitor centres only. It's sad 2 see people in beautiful places staring at their phones. #hikerchat
