There have not been NP rangers from the park at the CoC boundary of the County viewing route (east end of the NP) the times we have gone through. On that side you are more likely to see county personnel, inc CD, police, security & traffic div. personnel, as the county is still bound by the federal monies used for the CoC emergency route to maintain the emergency route....
There are park personnel during daylight hours at the HVNP side of the end of CoC (West side of CoC emergency route). Most like if there are "ranger" that might indicate a rescue, which they have had during this flow, or it oould be park personnel that routinely monitor the park property - some of whom have trek the pali & coastal flats very routinely to note changes in park conditions (inc. vegetation & animal surveys in the park )
ADD: many people seem unaware that there are many entrances to the HVNP where there is no "gate keeper" & there are no fees to enter.... Too bad these folks have never ventured more that the main entrance to view some of the incredible offerings HVNP has!
