Whenever I read these stories, it's vacationers from some country where they are used to not having to pay attention to the rules because of their wealth.
Sorry buck-o, we generally only make rules here about something if not following them can get you killed. Getting killed means paperwork and we like to avoid paperwork.
I have witnessed that at Yellowstone. The elite of other countries ignoring the rules because rules are for the little people.
The nice thing about the US is that everyone feels they can ignore the rules, not just the elites :) It's the American dream. I had a kid tell me he could take shortcuts across pathways on Yellowstone because he was a veteran...

Don't the pathways exist because lots of the areas off the pathways are a thin crust that you can fall through into boiling mud?
In reply to Pete. (l33t FS) :
Yes.
In reply to Appleseed :
There is a webcomic I read, where England has fallen into an anarchic state and there are only two laws: One may not profit at the expense of another anarchist, and there are no more laws.
However they do have "advisories". They found that if you tell somebody not to do something, they will try to do it. But if you advise them that it's a bad idea to do something, they won't. Or at least, they accept the consequences.

FloridaMan checking in. Can definitely confirm its not just the rich elites that ignore rules on where to go, and what wildlife to leave alone.
