Do it Differently than We have Ever Done with a National Park

   Once wilderness is turned into a national park, there might be no going back. I do not say we should not create a national park in Grand Staircase, I only say that if we do, perhaps we should make it a more protected park than we have heretofore known.
   Do it differently than we have ever done with a national park.
   I like it that there are massive areas of land down there that haven't seen an overly lot of footprints. I wonder if we should keep it that way.
   How about a large, expansive national park protection area (including both Grand-Staircase Escalante and Bears Ears), where some parts are allowed footprints, and grazing, and tourism, but others are shielded from such things?
   How about making the helicopter or the air balloon, the way you view most of these sites? If you charged entry fees to cover the expense, it would make for an expensive park, but it still might be a worthy way to protect the park while at the same time opening it to the public.
