What annoys me most of all is not the parking area, but the boardwalk that seems to have been built over the pools, completely destroying the place for everyone who wants to take a picture of a reflection of Telescope Peak in the water...
Now granted, not everyone is that much of a photographer, and lots of people will quite happily take a picture of the new and improved "Badwater" sign and never worry about any reflection.
Which is why this is just my personal opinion and a highly subjective one at that - I'm sure there are many other concerns that had to be taken into account when building this.
(And I'll quite happily follow paved and unpaved roads with any small economical sedan I happen to be driving when visiting - not everyone who speaks out against restrictions necessarily wants to plow through the desert in a huge truck. I'm just thinking that nature is best observed and visited with as little obstructions as possible, but of course that requires everyone using their common sense - "leave only footsteps, take only pictures", indeed.)
