The Salt Lake Tribune on Sunday began a series examining issues facing the national parks located in Utah.
The first stop was Zion National Park, href="http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/54425196-78/park-zion-national-parks.html.csp" target="_blank">where there is private land embedded within what is otherwise the park's boundaries. There are chances homes could be built there.
From href="http://twitter.com/#!/brandonloomis" target="_blank">Brandon Loomis' article:
"It ruins people’s experience when they come up to hike here," said Springdale-based guide Bruce Nielson, who frequently shuttles hikers up the Kolob Terrace Road to destinations like The Subway, a watery technical day hike through one of the park’s slot canyons.
But this isn't just some policy-wonk package.

And Prettyman reported on how bighorn sheep href="http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/54424949-78/park-bighorn-zion-sheep.html.csp" target="_blank">have made a comeback in the park.
