Every year park rangers investigate an increasing number of motorcycle accidents. Unfortunately, a significant number involve serious injuries.
Be alert
Animals may dart out from road edges. Other drivers may pay too much attention to the scenery and cross over the center line into your travel lane or may suddenly stop their vehicles in the middle of the road to observe wildlife. These and other unforeseen conditions can lead to motorcycle accidents.
