Edward Abbey makes a good point as he criticizes the “modernized” national parks. He writes about how for years it was understood that the parks would be “preserved in a primitive way so as to screen out those tourists unwilling to drive over dirt road,” but that was no longer the case. Roads had been built to allow for more visitations and the “old magic” was destroyed. I agree with Edward Abbey in saying the magic of nature is destroyed by placing roads within the parks. I believe the only reason parks need to increase their visitation is for money and no other reason. It is greedy of people to take profit in the environment while ruining its true qualities. To truly preserve the parks is to leave them in their original conditions, in their natural state. Putting roads in the park is like an oxymoron; modernization of nature’s beauty can’t be done without disrupting the nature itself and therefore should not be done.
