No Drones Allowed at Yosemite

On Friday, May ninth,  Yosemite National Park said that drones were no longer allowed on the premises. Many people are bringing in drones to film views such as waterfalls. There has been an increase in drones over the years. A downside to having drones in the park is that the drones make loud noise and that is ruining the experience for the visitors. The drones are also interfering with rescue operations. Drones are becoming too common so they might have too much footage of the park. The drones will not be able to retrieve things or people unless there is an emergency involving public safety.

I would think that drones are a good thing because they can advertise the views online and the visitors would want to see them in real life. Drones can also be very helpful; they can go places that are too dangerous for humans.This article interested me because I have heard about drones at national parks before but I never thought that they would be banned. Drones will be banned at 58 national parks across the nation.
