Question about a site I visited near Mesa Verde

I was at the cliff dwellings last month and saw a bunch of fresh boot prints right next to a clearly marked 'no entry' zone, which really worries me about site damage.

What if those boot prints are from the people who work there? I saw rangers at Chaco Canyon once, checking a wall after a storm... they had to go off trail to do their job. Maybe it was an inspection for safety or to fix a sign. Still, fresh prints by a closed area would make me look twice too.

Rangers leaving evidence, rookie move lol.

Right because nothing says "government conspiracy" like a couple of rangers walking in a straight line to check a fence post. Those sneaky park employees are probably out there leaving breadcrumbs for the aliens to follow. I'm sure they spent all that time making boot prints look totally accidental when they could've just used a hovercraft like any self-respecting cover-up artist. Real rookie move would be forgetting to take the evidence home in their cruiser.
