Fellow Rangers at Zion confirmed it's zooishness, and one won't ever return to work there again. It was crazy at the North Rim this summer with not enough parking and too many people. What to do? The upside, most visitors don't get off the beaten track to the "features" which leaves it for the rest of us.

I gave a long response, but I'm still not sure I expressed what I really meant. I stopped because of the First Law of Holes: If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. Today I read a blog by someone I follow from another side of my interests, and he expresses it much better than I can. I agree totally with him. http://www.gocurrycracker.com/everyone-should-blog/ He makes some money from his blog, which I do not. That is just an area I decided not to pursue. As retirement continues I may change my mind about that. :)Shadowmosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17302898633500446571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-54625876439762552592016-12-04T08:39:29.985-07:002016-12-04T08:39:29.985-07:00I thought you'd appreciate that title :).

It was not permitted at Arches NP and most certainly not at Yellowstone.

We spent the month of March there three years ago. The first week in the main canyon was no problem. But after that we spent our time anywhere but there. There are so many unnamed areas to explore with all the slickrock. Love the petroglyphs!!

Not IN the "corridor", but OUTSIDE the corridor. Look at the boundaries of Zion. They go WAY beyond the "corridor". The corridor of ANY Park is for the masses. YOU are NOT the masses. The rest of the Park is for YOU, and folks like you. And BTW, who says geography changes all of a sudden once OUTSIDE the Park? Almost always more to explore. Case in point...We are presently in Moab. Arches N.P. is at our doorstep. We were there again yesterday. But, as ASTOUNDINGLY BEAUTIFUL as it is INSIDE the Park, there is endless beauty, rocks, canyons, you name it, to be found FOREVER outside the Park and the other parks here. Quit whining, and keep doing what you're doing. That's what you were meant to do anyway. And BTW, great post.Ed@Chasing Sunrises and Sunsetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16630036177749891246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134981800236544647.post-34905648356882964192016-12-03T13:22:53.116-07:002016-12-03T13:22:53.116-07:00Well Mark you have helped the OFM make a big choic...Well Mark you have helped the OFM make a big choice with this blog entry.
