In all of the videos I used to research, I saw everything from burros sticking their heads in cars to people getting out and hosting a burro feeding frenzy with bags of veggies. Part of me wanted to come prepared with a big bag of carrots, since people have been feeding the burros for decades and they've been known to cause vehicular damage if you don't have something to keep them chewing. There have even been a few rangers anonymously come out and encourage the practice. That being said, the official policy is that feeding is prohibited. What's funny, is the thing that actually kept me from participating in this tradition was flies. In several videos, I could see that the animals were absolutely teeming with flies, which got me thinking of disease. So, I decided to skip the feeding tradition and take my chances that a burro might nibble my door handles.

As you can see, they are not shy! Although, I am surprised that we didn't have any heads explore inside my open windows. The vehicle in front of us was feeding some sort of chips, so I guess that at least was enough to keep them from looking for much with us.
