National Parks are not a necessity service to the public but a privilege that we get to enjoy...therefor, eliminating fees are not the answer...maintaing/increasing fees allow behind the scenes services that are provided by park staff to enhance our experience ,)
Before we allocate more taxpayer money to the Park System, I'd vote to redirect those funds to our military vets ,)
