Letter: The primary purpose of a national park is to preserve the land unimpaired, not to create an amusement park for visitors.
Raji Krishnan and Erlen Dsang snap photos of each other at Delicate Arch in Arches National Park as the sun sets, Tuesday, May 16, 2023. In April 2023, Arches National Park implemented a timed entry system to pace visitors' arrival times to alleviate overcrowding and congestion among some 1.8 million visitors a year.Arches National Park for an amusement park.
Arches National Park went through an extensive process to determine how to manage the park under conditions of overcrowding and long waits to get into the park. Sometimes the entrance to the park had to be blocked off at the exit from U.S. 191 because the long entrance road to the gate was filled with cars. In essence, the popularity of the park and the temporary overload of visitors locked additional visitors out of the park.
I moved to Moab in 1999 and have watched the increased visitation to the park and a lot of other parts of southeastern Utah. I first visited Arches around 1957, at about age 11 or 12. I remember it being a remote and beautiful place with no people around. I still visit the park regularly. This year my brother and his wife came down to visit and we decided to visit Arches. This was the day before timed entry started this year.

According to the CDC, 54% of gun deaths in the U.S. are suicides. But such pain is sometimes directed outwardly by killing of friends, family or some kind of mass shooting.
