Today, hiked to Delicate Arch, then in the evening, "Park Avenue" Ended up near the Windows in a nice set of shelters for star gazing. Did an impromptu activation of Arches NP US-0004 after sunset.

Pick below is "Park Avenue" hike, highly recommended after the sun dips below the mountaintop.

I usually play leapfrog with the 4:30 - 5:15 pace groups, though if there's an incident reported, I'll head up/down trail to investigate.

There are frequent runner stumbles and usually the person is fine, but the ones around them are rattled. If they aren't fine, I try to help/summon EMTs.

I monitor both, but prefer the 800 because communication is succinct. People talk only when there is inform to convey, e.g., there is no need to self-identify, no signal reports, etc.

The green radio goes in my backpack, microphone clipped to my hydration pack. Yaesu in the handlebar bag.

Scene is from the beginning of the 1980 movie Airplane! as the pilot enters the airport, confronted by a series of people with pamphlets, solicitations, etc. (This used to be kind of a thing in that time period)
