What next? A Ferris wheel? How about a roller coaster while we're at it? Before you know it, the national parks of Canada will look just like their side of Niagara Falls. Come to think of it, there's an idea. We could have a big wax museum, too. A figure of P. T. Barnum would be front and center. No thanks, Canada, but at $24.95 a pop, someone sure is getting rich. P.S. to the Havasupai. I will not patronize your skywalk, either, although I love your Indian bread at Peach Springs.
This attraction was extremely well done -providing both a thrill of looking down between your feet, along with an exceptional view of the canyon below and how the creek has carved many features into the living rock. There are also many educational elements incorporated as well.
Alfred - for once we agree.
Alfred, what is your problem, exactly? Are you afraid that it won't hold you, after all that Indian bread that you've indulged in?
"Privatization of a national park" So how does that happen? Why is it allowed to happen?
Why this company?
National Parks are the property of all Canadians...and given that this company was allowed to build on park lands as such, we should all have the right to access and build whatever the hell we want in them. That's democracy. Personally, I want to build private cabins along Lake Louis as I feel it would draw in more tourists and enhance the overall experience of the park. j/k
Yes, but seriously, this was/is little more than a money grab.
Absolutamente absurdo y escandalosamnete caro. Como es posible en un PARQUE NACIONAL?
(Absolutely absurd and scandalously expensive. How is it possible in a NATIONAL PARK?)
Kind of an old article, but I think some of the comments kind of miss the point that the Canadian government treats its national parks differently than how NPS goes about business. I mean - there's a town with luxury accomodations and a permanent population within the boundaries of Banff National Park. They don't seem to have anything similar to the USFS that has extensive land holdings, and it sounds as if many of their parklands are managed in similar ways to that which BLM or the USFS would manage lands, which includes major recreational opportunities such as ski resorts.
I've been to other parts of the world where their national parks included aerial gondolas, hotels located at high peaks, and extensive development unlike what we would see under NPS management in similar places. I was joking with a Chinese colleague that if Half Dome were in China, there would probably be a gondola to the top.
