Your scribbler long ago agreed this was inevitable foot and. saddle sores to the contrary after having been privileged to see a major portion of this section ' i of Utah "over our lifetime. We are just as. convinced that such a development should include not only the limited area now proposed, but a corridor of scenic beauty on each side of the river downV V stream to the Glen Canyon Dam. j, The tragedy, however, would be in locking up for single purpose use any major segment of these multi-milions of acres, as would happen under a national paiik. Why not simply extend the already established Glen Canyon Recreation Area to allow the inclusfon of this vast country under national park control but with orderly use and development provided by the multiple use concept? Especially when this already established area even now extends upriver some twenty miles into the proposed park site. Whatever is arrived upon as final procedure should be given more serious, factual thought than is the case so far by a handful of folks who have, at best, berely flown over or limped round the edges of this tremendous, fantastically beautiful, inaccessible section of our state.
