Tourists who want to see them now climb a viewing tower or hire a small plane. Not so long ago if you decided to visit the Grand Canyon or the Tower of London, you just went. it might be Now and even more in the future smarter to check first. ruler-straig- SEVERAL days last year the Tower of London slammed shut its gates because it simply could not hold more people. At the Grand Canyon, says park officer Roger Giddings, reservations must be made three to six months in advance for camp grounds, mule trips into the canyon or raft trips through it on the Colorado River. Hikers heading for the American wilderness used to strap on a pack and go. Now National Parks like Yellowstone, Glacier and the Great Smokie; ask backpackers to make reservations. Some wilder J i ness regions restrict camping to relatively small areas.

We may have to insist that people wear some kind of overshoe, he said. AT MYCENAE, the bronze age city in Greece, historical traces on the Citadel are being erased by the footsteps of millions of visitors, said Greek Culture Minister Dimitrios Nianias. Mycenae may soon have the same restrictions as the Acropolis. A year-lonstudy of Hadrians Wall reported recently that it may be necessary to keep visitors off some parts of the central section, where one million tourists a year are crumbling away the stones. g ' qr i i - Plan your Princess Cruise with an expert-AmeriTwogreat names get together to help you sail away in style this Spring.
