How do we solve the tourist issues in western national parks?

>tourists
you don’t live in the park either

>>2826654
I live in Jackson, I'm a local.

>>2826640 (OP)
import more bears, ban cars

>>2826640 (OP)
Remove the parking lots, and plough the access roads.
That'll save money, effectively limit access to those coming in in 4x4s, on bikes, horseback or foot. In otherwords, it'll remove most of those obese, "where's the nearest mcdonalds?" tourists.

>>2826640 (OP)
Really thought those were skinny ass prosthetic legs

>>2826640 (OP)
Get rid of 90% of the parking lots and require people to take a bus in. Get rid of established campgrounds except for one by the visitor center, you have to bring a backpack if you want to see the park.

Shut down entrance to 1/3rd of National parks on a rotating 1 year basis to allow nature to heal in the parks every third year

>>2826695
If you think nat parks need to heal, and if you think that means just letting them do their thing, just go to unmaintained state parks. There are a lot of those.

If you think nat parks need to heal, and if you think that means just letting them do their thing, just go to unmaintained state and county parks. There are a lot of those.

We don't have any National Parks here in Idaho specifically because we don't want any tourists. It's been working out pretty good so far..

>>2826737
That's not correct, but you're a Bay Area transplant so I don't expect you to know anyway.

>that plate
Florida Man is making his way out west, I see

>>2826737
Instead you have massive national forests that are just as good.

>>2826743
Luckily for them cheetahs are like the least threatening of all wild cats.

>>2826742
If you think it's bad now think of how worse it would be if our state parks and wilderness areas were national parks.

>>2826820
transplants are worse than tourists. one is there permanently, the other is there mainly during peak summer months in a rotating fashion.

Transplants raise the cost of living, goods, and other utilities all over the state. Tourists only cause price issues around the NP resort towns, but they also generate a shit ton of revenue and jobs for the state. Transplants do not since most WFH anyway.

>>2826802
Stop talking about Idaho.

>>2826827
That's true. We ended up buying a house because it was cheaper than paying rent. Cost of living is out of control.

>>2826827
I disagree with you. I saw what happened to my beloved Joshua Tree in 2014 after Instagram made the park famous. So many fucking retards from LA turned that quiet little park into their social media Disneyland. I get sick thinking about how I watched that park transform into a meme. I hope they never allow cell signal in that park

You're all transplants you stupid faggots, guaranteed none of you have generational roots in the areas that go back more than 60 years and even then who the fuck cares - you're all fucking transplants

stupid faggots honestly

>>2826965
Spoken like a true transplant

>>2826968
unless your family is one of the few dozen who settled the area (as transplants) you are undoubtedly a transplant, probably second generation who considers themselves native lmao it takes 5 generations of a plant going somewhere before we call it native

>>2826973
>before we call it native
>we
You're a transplant, shut the fuck up

>>2826975
yeah you're definitely butthurt about being called out, let me guess your parents or grandparents moved there after the 60s? Lmao the chinese people who built the railroad there 150+ years ago are more native than you

>>2826976
Speak for yourself

>>2826977
not even some great grandparents to brag about? Don't tell me you're literally second generation trying to talk shit on Americans coming to your empty states being flooded by actual non american immigrants? lmao you're such a bitch, bet you go into a seething frothing rage every time you see a californian plate

>>2826965
I have family that's lived in Idaho for about 100 years now. I grew up in San Diego but we moved to Idaho to be with family after SD got too expensive. Yes I'm a transplant but we wouldn't have moved here if we didn't have family here.

>>2826979
Get off my continent. Your California plates have even infected my east coast backwater
>t. family hopped of the boat in 1634 and never left St. Mary's County

Ban non-citizens. It's not an absolute cure but will drop the crowd sizes enough that many of these issues can be addressed.

Remove roads and vehicle access. Every park should have a 10 mile hike at a minimum to the entrance point.

>>2826640 (OP)
You don't.

Privatize the lands, give it to state owned companies like what the USDA does with the Dairy Management Inc but for national parks

>>2827331
Get mental help, Mike Lee. you're never getting the land back to give away to oil companies.

>>2826890
The secret has been out for a long time man. Population is booming there. Prepare for Idaho and Montana to be the new Texas someday

>>2826640 (OP)
send all floridians to death camps

>>2827466
It'll never be the new Texas when more than half the roads close during winter, and in the case of Idaho your own state government is hostile towards its own people.

>>2826640 (OP)
Shoot trespassers.

>>2827466
It's already the new California. Me and other Californians have moved in and we make sure to vote yes for every tax increase proposal. If the locals get priced out, too bad. They should have made better life decisions. This is our home now.

>>2826640 (OP)
There's nothing to solve. The system is working as designed.

>>2826640 (OP)
National parks, particularly where there are roads and parking lots, are containment areas for tourists. They are functioning exactly as intended.
