KANSAS CITY, -- Mo. Nature is indifferent to boundaries. The U.S. government, on the blher hand, adores them. It caives its hundreds of millions of acres of recreational land Into national parks, forests, refuges and other vast holdings that cover much of the country. ' wilds often share the parkland's famous scenery. "A boundary is really something artificial we made 4pV park guidebook author Michael Frome says. "The ecosystem and landscape continues." woods and mountains in the forest service's Cilico Creek Wildernesses, for example, are pretty much indistinguishable ftdth the Smokies' best except they're quieter. Idaho's Targhee National Forest covers the western 'alopes of the Grand Teton Range, a quiet contrast to the Teton's eastern approaches, which include the heavily commercialized Jackson, Wyo. .

' In the bureaucratic complexity are wonderful opportunities id',' find solitude. For every national park attraction that's roobbed in midsummer Yellowstone's geysers, yopemite's valley floor, the G,ryat Smoky Mountains' scenic roads there are scores of natural glories on public lands that aren't parks. These wilderness wallflowers lack the parks' visitor facilities, commercial development and long waiting lists for reservations. They also lack crowds.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park abuts three national forests. Southern Utah's national parks are drops in a huge bucket of wilds managed by the BLM. Nonpark land isn't always less crowded. Along the highways, parts of the Smokies' neighboring national forests and Cherokee, Pisgah Nantahala are as packed as the park, as are portions of Western forests that lie along tourist routes. But getting out of national parks is a good start toward finding solitude. "They're definitely less commercial and more spacious," Frome says of public lands.
