The spicy trend is going viral and we can see why!
When you think of the many national parks throughout the United States, you probably think of towering mountains, beautiful vistas, clear blue lakes, and deep canyons. You probably aren’t thinking about sex. But a new TikTok trend has combined spicy content with the normally very unsexy National Park System, and the results are going viral.
It all started when a Yellowstone National Park fan account started posting thirsty TikToks earlier this month that paired sexy videos, explicit songs, and gorgeous images of the park itself.
Then, other national park fan accounts started popping up all over TikTok, some posted horny videos stitching thirst trap accounts, while others combined spicy music with rock formations, caverns, and waterfalls that could read as…dirty, if looked at in that context.
The @visit.yellowstone TikTok account led the way in this viral trend and already accumulated 1 million followers at the time of publication. It’s most viral videos are thirst traps with hunky shirtless men. One popular video features muscle-bound TikTok star Thoren Bradley, who is best known for his shirtless wood chopping videos, stripping off his shirt before the video quickly cuts to one of Yellowstone’s stunning geothermal lakes. Another video shows Jason Momoa holding an ice cream bar and saying, “bite her or lick her” as the video cuts to the park’s famed “Painted Pots” while “WAP” plays.
@visit.yellowstone Within Yellowstone's 2.2 million acres, visitors have unparalleled opportunities to observe wildlife in an intact ecosystem, and explore geothermal areas @Thoren Bradley #stitch #booktok #darkromance #masktok #fantasy #momsover30 #fyp
This hilarious viral trend comes amid the Trump administration's attack on the National Park System. Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have severely slashed the department’s budget (despite its 2020 budget only being one-fifteenth of one percent of the overall federal budget), terminated employees and forced others into retirement, and cut staffing at the parks, with future plans of privatizing the whole system, The Guardian reports.
Despite what some viewers think, these aren’t official national park accounts or run by the tourism board, though some theorize that park rangers and employees fed up with the Trump administration’s attack on the park system are behind the viral videos.
@visit.yellowstone In Yellowstone National Park, "Painted Pots" refers to two distinct areas with geothermal features: Fountain Paint Pots and Artist Paint Pots @Jason Momoa #stitch #booktok #darkromance #masktok #fantasy #momsover30 #fyp
After the videos went viral on the social media app, tattooed OnlyFans creator Johnathon Caine responded to a Yellowstone video that shows him shirtless and looking into the camera before cutting to video of Mammoth Hot Spring with Ciara’s “Got Me Good” playing.
@visit.yellowstone Mammoth Hot Springs is a large complex of hot springs on a hill of travertine in Yellowstone National Park adjacent to Fort Yellowstone @Johnathon Caine #stitch #booktok #darkromance #masktok #fantasy #momsover30
The adult content creator started the video by saying, “So I feel like everyone knows what’s going on here except for me,” while blushing.

Queer author Don Martin even made a funny TikTok video commenting on the viral videos, suggesting that while he knows “we are defunding the national parks at like a pretty bad level” he joked that he doesn’t think the TikTok Creator Fund will get them enough money to support the parks. “But I am fully here for whatever unhinged madness is currently going on with the various national parks accounts. I’m just a little afraid that we are this close to some kind of OnlyFans collab, featuring, like Yellowstone National Park or something,” Martin joked.
@bydonmartin What is going on with the national park accounts???
Other national park fan accounts quickly joined in on the thirsty trend by making their own videos. A Grand Canyon account made a splash with the caption, “We are open!!! Cum on in,” and a Olympia National Park fan account described the road to the Hoh Rain Forest as, “wide open, all groomed and smooth, just for your enjoyment!”

@shenandoahnationalpark Oh we see you, @Joshua Tree National Park 🔥… Eternal flame… Desert thirst…Firemen… But out here in the Shenandoahs? We don’t call for help. We descend. Beneath the moss and mist and maternal rage. Into limestone cathedrals where stalactites drip symphonies and the earth sings her secrets in moans. You burn, my darling… But we echo.🌬️ #booktok #alttok #mothersday #joshuatreenationalpark #saveourparks #conservation #cavetok #mountaintok #alttiktok #bikelife
