    Wish I had that earlier! I'm aware of the ability to do a geo "box" like that on inaturalist but couldn't find it for this national park, the naming is very sensitive. Posted 3 years ago

      I'm not sure how I did it, though. I think I just typed the location in the search box and the list popped up. Lucky find! Posted 3 years ago

    And with that, I also managed to find this one, where I wasted an hour on earlier today:
