>>1871295>bring back the lodges and train service to the busiest parks since most tourists just see the main attractions and don't go more than a mile from the trailhead anyway>don't build roads in the rest; reserve it for backcountry use instead like the Maze in canyonlandsThis way enough people can still see the main attractions to maintain political support for keeping the parks around while keeping the other 95% wild. The only real problem with the parks is the massive infrastructure required to support visiting places like the Old Faithful and the South Rim of the Grand Canyon in cars.
At least some portion has to be accessible to normies, but you can do that without paving too much of it if you just have them park somewhere else.
