he always regretted he did not succeed in making it a national park. it partly became a park because their railroad was here first and they were bringing in tourists and they were loving it and bringing in money and the businessmen were saying this is worth more than those mines which are not producing anything anyway, so why exactly are we opposing making this a national park? as tourism started up, it swung opinions around to realizing this had economic value and people saw the natural value as well. a lot of powerbrokers in arizona came to see that, it took a long time. today, last year we got 6 million visitors at the canyon. around 2000, it was flirting with 5 million. lately, it has been up. a lot of national parks have in visitation and that has put a lot of stress on the parks because they don't have the capacity to absorb that gracefully. a lot of them are foreigners. a lot of people from overseas love our national parks and they come here with the main goal of seeing the yosemite or the grand canyon or yellowstone or possibly death valley. it

there were national parks for decades before there was a park service. there were a lot of threats to the parks and places that should have been parks. there were mining companies that did not want them to be national parks. the parks service set out to be a political constituency. they would support better protection for parks. the park service was very slow and low budget. work to getppy to tourists out. here in the to get 1920's was the tourism business. harrison had never visited the grand canyon. for three times he proposed bills to make it a national park . harrison became president and tried to make it a national park. congress toact of create a national park. claimed.was privately so, benjamin harris, he did this met -- make this a national forest which is bogus because inside the canyon there's not many forests. .hat was one step teddy roosevelt along. he was dedicated to the grand canyon. teddy roosevelt went to the north rim to go mountain lying hunting. there used to be a lot of mountain lions there. there were hundreds of them. to kill the r

he always regrettable he did not make it a national park. partlyly became a park because the railroad was bringing in tourists and arizona thisessman were noticing is worth more than the lions in the canyon. so why are we opposing making this as a national park? picked up and people saw the natural value. a lot of powerbrokers just didn't seem to see that. it took a long time for them to see that. last year we got 6 million andtors of the canyon around 2000 at the 5 million level up and down and lately national park that then up in visitation. a lot of them do not have the capacity to absorb that. a lot of them are foreigners and they come here with the main goal of seeing yosemite, yellowstone, possibly death valley. they might see san francisco or las vegas along the way. they go home loving the parks and saying how great it is, even if someone has a great about america politically, they can go home telling people how great and this was the american idea. but otherwise it's the idea the land belongs to all of us. the whole rim of the canyon
