That would have made a lot of sense.
Some minor degree of hot-dog standing is preferable to wholesale mis-use of the land by the OHVers (of which I am one, enough to see how sideways it's gone anyhow), the "Chop down a whack of live trees for my tent and fire" random campers and industry. Most of the K Country parks are in a lot better shape than the unprotected areas west and east of the trunk road from the Ghost to Hinton (not all of K Country, but most). The Bighorn should have been bigger, but it's at least a start if it gets done. Most Albertans support more parks and protected areas. 50 years ago there was a lot less pressure on the front range of the Rockies, now there are two big and a lot of small cities and a few million people. Time to update things, it's a mess out there. What is in place flat out doesn't work.
