The Canadian Press, 17 May, 2016 11:18 AM

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. — A Canadian-based group of men who post pictures and videos of their travels on social media are in hot water with Yellowstone National Park officials after allegedly walking out to a hot spring where people are prohibited.

Rangers filed a criminal complaint Monday against three members of the group known as High on Life SundayFundayz that accuses them of stepping onto a geothermal feature.

The group has posted an apology on its website and social networks.

The park's pathways are intended to protect both tourists and sensitive hot springs.

The group has offered to donate up to $5,000 to the park.
