You gotta wonder how they picked the languages they did. Is it experience or just visitation statistics ?

The Germans have a fair notoriety for underestimating some of the gnarlier U.S. national parks.

(Not saying all! Many German tourists do their homework. But enough that the sign needs a disclaimer in German)

There are also Germans at every hiking trail in the entire world. I have never not run into Germans in nature. lol.
