Can y'all respect our photographers please. They sit under a canopy covered in our logos and their logo so you know they work for us.

Their job is to take pictures of everything that comes across 16, hence why they're called Back of the Dragon (BOTD) Pix.

If you do not want your pictures on the BOTDPix site please turn around at either one of the overlooks and politely tell the photographer on duty to delete your pics and they will do so on the spot.

Thank you for your understanding 🐉
