    In his Epilogue, Sutter provides visitation numbers: Between 1916 to 1941 visitation increased from 360,000 to 21 million, by 1955 that number increased to 56 million, 1966 saw 133 million, and by 2000 over 300 million annual visitors entered the parks. Sutter adds that the increase during the 1960s to 2000 were through the efforts of the National Parks Director Conrad Wirth, who promoted the Mission 66 (1966) initiative, to spend $1 billion on modernizing park facilities and roads developed. These increased numbers prove Americans continually want to spend their recreational free-time at facilities and wilderness areas offered at national and state…

    National Parks. Beautiful and grand these parks have been protecting nature for many years, but it was not until I watched a video at the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo that I realized the work that went into preserving them and who was involved, that was when I thought of my topic, John Muir and Theodore Roosevelt, working together to preserve nature. John Muir and Theodore Roosevelt interested me because of how influential they were in establishing national parks. I asked myself questions such as why did John Muir fight for preserving nature, and who did he work with to get national parks established, to guide my research.…

    Abbey believes industrial tourism is becoming a bigger problem to all national parks. In abbey’s opinion he thinks motor vehicles should be prohibited on the grounds of any national monument. “ we have agreed not to drive our automobiles into cathedrals, to concert halls, art museums…we should treat our national parks with the same deference, for they, too, are holy places” (pg. 65). Abbey believes that the only way to truly experience the beauty of nature is to walk through, bike ride through, or horseback ride through. As said before abbey is a humanist and has not sympathy for the elderly who travel to national parks for vacations, he says they “had the opportunity to see the country when it was still relatively unspoiled” (pg. 67). He also has no sympathy for children who are “too small to ride bicycles and too heavy to be borne on their parents’ backs.” (pg.…

    Kay’s argument is based on his belief that national park and nature reserve management strategies rely almost entirely on false assumptions. The first assumption is that there is a “balance-of nature” and ecosystems are unchanging. Second is that before European arrival, there was a vast wilderness in North America and that this wilderness had an abundance of wildlife. The last assumption Kay list is that Native Americans were either too primitive to have had an impact on their environment or such devout worshippers of nature to do any harm (Kay 359). Kay’s article focuses on the belief that these regeneration policies are a poor solution.…

    Of the fifty-nine national parks, reserves of protected land, across the nation, humans have been known to adversely affect each and every one of them. From the roads to the trails, and even the ranger stations and visitor centers, over time we have seen a dramatic change in these dedicated areas. One of these parks, Channel Island National Park, is located just off of the Southern California coast and serves as both a beautiful wildlife and plant refuge--but also as an exemplar of the effects humans have on the aforementioned ecosystem. As national park rangers serve within their obligated duties, we can see them directly combating the various consequences that come as a result of tourists. From major events in recent history such as offshore…

    There are many aspects of parks, recreation and leisure that interest me. I am particularly interested in the conservation and continued expansion of our park system. The rich cultural history and natural beauty the parks provide are vital to our country. Growing up in the rural south, where resources were often scarce, my family depended on local, state and national parks for a great deal of our leisure and recreation. We spent many summers exploring, camping and canoeing the parks in our surrounding areas. This time spent in those protected spaces allowed me to see the world from a new perspective, realizing it was much larger than the dirt road where I grew up.…

    My family and I went to Yosemite National Park. Yosemite is one of the greatest parks in the country with many beautiful sightings. It was established, to protect the land on October 1, 1890. Yosemite sits in the gorgeous state of California. We loved going to Yosemite National Park to enjoy our lives. According to the establisher of this park, John Muir, “It is by far the grandest of all the special temples of nature I was permitted to.” I asked the park ranger how many acres of land is Yosemite made of. He said 748,036 acres. Yosemite is definitely a national treasure. There is soaring cliffs, huge waterfalls, and vast meadows inside the territory of Yosemite. There are many activities you can do. President Theodore Roosevelt said, “There can be nothing in the world more beautiful than the Yosemite, the groves of the giant sequoias and redwoods...and our people should see to it that they are preserved for their children and their children’s children forever, with their majestic beauty all unmarred.”…
