The great outdoors doesn't seem at first blush like a hostile work environment, but for countless women working in the National Park Service, it's exactly that. 

New claims from a total of nearly 20 employees at the beloved Yosemite National Park were brought up at a recent hearing by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee reporting gender discrimination and workplace harassment. Other news claims have also been reported at Yellowstone National Park.
