Rangers are few and far between in the park.

Parking fees would be 5 dollars per day

40 dollars per year. 14.1 million people visited the park last year more people are expected to come to the GSMNP this year. I live around here so the times I choose to go to the park are few and far between because of the congestion. I've seen the 11 mile Cades Cove loop bumper to bumper all 11 miles worth. There is a problem definitely but I don't think this idea will make much difference. With other national park entry fees at 40 dollars plus I really don't think a 5 dollar per day parking pass will stop people from coming.
Go to the National park website and give your feed back. It's only being talked about as yet. Nothing is set to be put in place.
