cool?

so the money is for transportation from Moab to Arches? Are they doing anything in the park with the money?

What I posted is all I really know.

Zion gets $151,000, which is the construction industry is pocket change. Probably means they extend the covered seating area and add a few more benches.... but that's just a guess. That type of cash doesn't really buy you very much.

Arches get $774,000 (actually the BLM) to construct a transit hub. I'm guessing this will be some type of park and ride lot outside the park boundary.

Both of the above are just a guess, and while it sounds like a lot of money neither will actually build you much.

good point. I don't think arches could ever have the trasportation that Zion does because the campground is in the back of the park.
They will probably blow most of it on more stiff brimmed hats and pant pressing machines anyway those rangers are always looking slick!
