Since the start of the government shutdown on October 1, all U.S. National Parks have been closed, but it hasn’t stopped tourists from attempting to visit them anyway.

Trespassing citations have been issued for three parks: the Grand Canyon, Zion National Park, and Valley Forge National Historic Park. Over two dozen people have been cited, including a jogger that was fined $100 for working out on a trail that travels through Valley Forge.
