Abstract

The article discusses recreation activities in the U.S. Park Service (USPS) system and the USPS' policies regarding snowmobile access in Yellowstone National Park as of September 2012. The author argues that the U.S. government, in its interpretation of the National Park Service Organic Act, is risking the loss of Yellowstone National Park's natural resources. The competing interests of recreational enthusiasts and preservationists are examined.
