Living in the N. Phoenix area, we still have many people who love their horses and a fair number who have maintained that “cowboy attitude.” Last week I attended the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show sponsored by the Arabian Horse Association of Arizona.
I had no idea of what to expect. I had never been to a horse show before. For someone not involved with horses, although I do like them, the array of vendors proved almost as fascinating.
Many things stood out as I walked the aisles, but I particularly liked some of the signs and this one seemed to exude that old west cowboy attitude.

This is something I just don’t understand. This warning sign is very clear and announces DANGER. I don’t know how legible it is on your computer monitor or device, but the little red and yellow sign in the upper-left says:
2015 life altering injuries to visitors scrambling between boulders below waterfalls:
- 1 spinal fracture – paraplegic
- 1 cervical fracture – quadraplegic
- 1 skull fracture – traumatic brain injury
- 1 shoulder dislocation
- Multiple leg and arm fractures
PLEASE STAY ON THE TRAIL
Below this sign, there are replicas of x-rays that show some of the broken bones and injuries.
With all this, AND with rather large yellow danger signs attached to some of the boulders, people were still scrambling on the rocks and taking risks just like those in the picture.
It is hard for me to understand this behavior. I enjoy a thrill as much as anyone else, but when clear warning is given in a national park or other hiking area, attention must be paid! Another thing or two to keep in mind…Where is the nearest hospital and how would I get there?

Don’t forget that National Parks are not zoos or arboretums and can be dangerous.
Every national park has warning signs to denote that although there are trails which are maintained and some amenities may be available, these areas are wild. They have animals, large rocks, crevices, etc. It is up to each individual to keep alert. The best advice I can give is “Don’t take chances.” If something doesn’t feel right, don’t do it! This photo was taken near the beginning of the Four Mile Trail from Glacier Point.
NOTE – The sign indicates that there had been only four rescues up to this time in the year, but bear in mind that the picture was taken at the very beginning of their “busy season.”

While we were out hiking the other day, on our way to the trailhead we passed this sign. I guess you can’t say we weren’t warned. Really folks, Arizona IS a fun and friendly place to visit.
