Again, this is not political.
Just recently been to one of the most popular national park and the results of funding cuts (7%), fund diversion ($22 million for the frivolous July 4 parade) and distorted priorities or even hostility towards the environment (area around Sequoia National Park are set to be opened for oil explorations).
Your post has significant political content!!!!!
What you apparently don't realize, that the National Park Service has many more responsibilities than just supplying amenities for visitors. Actually, you will find that most parks budget for visitor services is a small fraction of their total budget. Many parks actually find visitors to impeded their mission!
