Don’t forget time. Unless you live in Vegas, Southern California, or Phoenix, the Grand Canyon (like most national parks) is really remote. It takes days (multiple) to drive there, and unless you bring or rent camping gear, lodging isn’t cheap. That means the cost of getting there is either a whole lot of pto to drive there or a whole lot of money to fly there and then rent a vehicle. Most inner-city folks don’t have cars, and poor working class people don’t often get a ton of vacation time at work. I can understand why a lot of people don’t want to or can’t afford to visit national parks when they’re more than a day or two’s drive from where they live.

Fine, let’s sell all the land to private persons/entities and cut taxes. Is that what the left wants?

This thread stick with me for some reason and I’m bumping it because I sorted it out.

This article is literally racist.

Their are no barriers for anyone to go to a national park.

None.

This article is a condescending take from an a-hole, white liberal that wants to tell black people what they should do with their time and resources.

If black people don’t want to go to national parks, that’s their damn business.

Bus loads of Asian tourists, park had signs showing them how to use a toilet. Oh and many are very rude and pushy.



Most of them are tiny. Just shoulder check them. When they turn around (or get up), stare them down, and they apologize.
