I'm only amazed that some folks think adding a wilderness/national monument/whatever designation will slow the people impact, where in fact it turns out to be quite the opposite.
20+ years ago, I never saw another soul on the GSENM or Paria.
Since Clinton helped out all the environmental groups with a designation, it has been and will continue to be mayhem and beyond.
Thanks Bill

As for being designated I have always been torn on that issue. As you said "people impact" has grown dramatically but "people impact" is small compared to the potential impact from the coal, oil, gas, uranium, etc. No?

These are some of the pictures. Actually there are some really good ones on the website but the ones they used for the article (at least for Coyote Buttes North/South/White Pocket were about the worst ones on the website.

Preserve it?-Feds
Hide it?- Most of us
Sell it? -SUWA for a bargaining chip in the big game. Or special interest funds from National Geographic.
