Canyonlands National Park Seeks Public Input on Proposed Day-Use Permits for Elephant Hill and White Rim Roads
http://www.nps.gov/cany/learn/news/news031615.htm
Canyonlands is proposing limiting the number of day use vehicles on white rim and elephant hill trails.
The big issue I see is getting the permits, and group size limitation. When i was on Elephant hill last year, we only saw one other group, but they were 5 or 6 rigs, and I imagine that is more the norm than three or less.
