<br />Alternatives for visitor use, development, and park operations range from no action (continuation <br />of existing management) to establishing new use patterns while broadening protection of natural <br />resources. Alternatives are broad and strategic in nature, requiring additional site-specific <br />environmental analysis to be completed at the time of conceptual design. This would require an <br />environmental document, either an environmental assessment or an environmental impact <br />statement. <br /> <br />Alternative A describes the no-action alternative, what happens if existing management continues. <br />Alternative B, the National Park Service proposal, describes an alternative with a balanced mix of <br />recreational experiences, capitalizing on the unique aspects that each park brings to those <br />experiences. Alternative C describes a situation that provides for more primitive recreation <br />experiences, encouraging visitors to seek more developed recreational experiences in other areas <br />outside the park boundaries. Alternative 0 provides for more developed recreational experiences <br />while protecting sensitive resources. <br /> <br />Also included are the results of public involvement and consultation/coordination that have been <br />conducted thus far. <br /> <br />John F.
