Interesting concept, charging people to see land that the government stole.
Try paddling it,, 10+ year wait list,,I tried booking a camping reservation for Grand Canyon a few years back. They sell out within minutes one year in advance. It's insane.
Do you think for one second Martians will allow us to step foot off of this rock and fvck up the universe. That's why they keep checking on us...We need to colonize another planet. I want to be where people are not.

Most or all timed entry tickets are fee.Yes. But this isn’t that. It’s like an entrance reservation. You still need to pay the entrance fee or have a pass (interagency or otherwise).
I do think it’s BS that they’re charging for the reservation. The other NPS facilities I’m aware of with reservation systems in place don’t charge for them.

Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded.We need to colonize another planet. I want to be where people are not.
No worse than Assateague State Park Camping areas. It used to not be too difficult to pick up good camp sites the first few minutes that a date came open. Now those are gone in literally seconds and lesser sites start disappearing within minutes. Reservations prior to Memorial Day or after Labor day are somewhat less difficult to nail down.I tried booking a camping reservation for Grand Canyon a few years back.

I did a Yellowstone trip 7 years ago and started the planning about a year in advance. As you mentioned everything was sold out. I called the number for reservations and asked if I could get on a waiting list. I was told there is no such list available, but to keep checking back as there are cancellations from time to time that will open up rooms. They said in some cases tours and bus trips will cancel and open up a block of rooms, but you have to keep an eye on it as they go fast. So I made it part of my morning routine to check availability. Took some patience but I was eventually able to get a 3 night stay at Old Faithful Lodge and 2 nights at Canyon Lodge.I tried booking a camping reservation for Grand Canyon a few years back.

Agreed. Right now, the ocean is still free. That's where I go. Hardly anyone there.Interesting concept, charging people to see land that the government stole.
The government recently expanded the ocean territory they claim.Agreed. Right now, the ocean is still free. That's where I go. Hardly anyone there.
