Lame reporting.... They didn't even manage to get one of the three best slots in Capitol Reef on their list.

Pandoras, Poe, Burro, Cottonwood, or Fivemile perhaps?
Anyway, to be fair, the article does just say three places, rather than the three best places.Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth. Please take care of it and keep the remaining wild areas in pristine condition. The world will be a better place if you do.

I hate when people write articles like this.... how long till a permit system ?
I thought guide services were not allowed to operate in national parks ???

Most allow it. It's only a few that don't.
Thousands of people are guided up places like Mount Rainier, Denali, Grand Teton, etc.
Even in places like Zion, guiding is allowed, just not for canyoneering and some other activities.Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth. Please take care of it and keep the remaining wild areas in pristine condition. The world will be a better place if you do.

true, Scott. I was thinking Arches & Zion. The parks you listed seem to have more a "need' due to their more serious terrain (not that these other parks don't have serious terrain). Hope that makes sense

Guiding in parks nauseates me. I hate it when the groups of Exum clients are clogging up the Grand Teton. Then you have to listen to them on the summit talk about how much they know about all that shit after a 2 day course. They get a brief geology lesson and they won't stop talking like over-night experts on the stuff they had no clue existed until 2 days ago.
The folks on Rainier are just as bad. They stop and lecture you on safety because you're not doing things the way their guides taught them 3 hours ago. "That's not how you tie a kiwi coil" blah blah blah...
I rue the day that this criminal enterprise finds it's way into Zion. People paying $500 for a 2 trip through Imlay with a fancy dinner prepared in a big tent at the crossroads and sleeping on cots...
