I would like to point out that these decisions are not made in secret by faceless guv'ment burrowcrats. Nowadays there is a fairly elaborate public meeting and review process, so if you have an interest in an area orin the general concept, participate, either by submitting written comments or attending and appearing at a public meeting.
True, but a lot of times you are stuck with decisions that were made years or decades ago and haven't been revisited. If it were a park that is a lot closer to me it would get commented on long and loud.
Proposed wilderness boundaries in the park will close some of the roads that have provided access to important research areas, so that will mean tougher access...So be it!
Will the roads be maintained for park service and firefighting? Push for some sort of research exemption. If you are doing research that the park service could benefit from they should have no problem writing you a waiver for access.
