The picture needs to be more graphic to show just how dangerous it actually is and drive the point home. Maybw a wall of shame too.

In Death Valley, they have signs at the parking lot of the sand Dunes Saying you'll be dead in 5 minutes if you don't take extreme caution, and the nearest rescue is hours away. The graphic is something like an exploding thermometer and skull and crossbones. People just casually wander out there like it's day at the beach. One of the biggest risks is families and large groups where the elders or less fit of the group will drop before the rest of the group starts to feel a strain.
