Ever since DV was changed from a National Monument to a National Park, visitation has skyrocketed.
I remember the Sierra Club was a big proponent of this change.
We have seen a lot of change in the park just over the last 20 years from too many visitors just because DV is now a National Park.
Now all we need is Fast Food Drive Thru at Badwater.
I can just see it: "I'll take a Badwater Burger and some Funeral Mountain Frys and a Salt Pan Shake to go"
