I've said it before but this statement used often by the rangers might help you to understand: "Our parks are being loved to death". As volunteers in these parks we see firsthand how some people treat our parks and how masses of people do damage to these precious lands. There is much destruction to buildings, campsites and trails. I'd hate to see RV parks inside these beautiful surroundings. There are enough campgrounds already. If the future could have been seen when these parks were created, I'll bet there would be no accommodations in the parks - just roads, overlooks to special areas and parking at trailheads. I think, in the future, Yellowstone and other big parks will go the shuttle-bus route like Zion does now.
Not sure what you're talking about referring to shuttle busses at Zion. You don't mean that you must be on a shuttle to visit Zion, do you? Did something change since I was there in June on my Harley?
