 Park Planning

Preserving a place like the Grand Canyon requires a lot of planning by staff of the National Park Service. When that planning runs afoul of commercial interests, special interest legislation changes the landscape at Grand Canyon. From promoting more overflights in the skies overhead to blocking Wilderness Designation and increasing private river tours in the Canyon's bottom, it's all here at Grand Canyon National Park. One retired National Park Service Superintendent called it "Vision Impaired."
