A man from Idaho has been temporarily banned from Yellowstone National Park after pleading guilty to charges stemming from an Aug. 7 outing, during which he was found cooking chickens in a thermal geyser. The man, who was among a group of 10 visitors, was spotted hiking toward the Shoshone Geyser Basin with the group, who were seen carrying cookware toward the thermal feature. A park ranger responded to find the group in possession of two chickens inside a burlap sack, in a hot spring, East Idaho News reported. In 2019, two men were arrested for “thermal trespassing” near Old Faithful to take up-close pictures. Several tourists have also been burned in the national park this year, including a woman who fell into a thermal feature while trespassing at the park in May, and a 3-year-old who ran off the trail and slipped into a thermal feature in early October, among other incidents.
