I have been out in some of that country, and it is as described. You will find more trash in the average suburban front yard than you will in a mile of those trails. Even worse, however, there is some geology out there worth seeing, especially for a geologist.
I can foresee where university connections and dedicated research, approved, etc. will be needed to even get past the gate if these bozos have their way, instead of being more of a self-guided geological 'tourist' checking it out. Not to mention depriving millions of the access to experience and learn from that area, even a little.
