Visitors to Utah’s national parks were asked to report any signs that cast Americans in a negative light or failed to emphasize the beauty of the landscapes. The request, made by the National Park Service, drew over 35,000 comments, with many respondents expressing frustration and criticizing the Trump administration’s public-lands policies.
Comments from Visitors
Many of the comments from visitors to Utah’s national parks, including Zion, Bryce Canyon, and Capitol Reef, focused on the need for more funding and support for the park’s workforce. Some visitors also requested improvements to trail signs and visitor centers. However, few comments addressed the issue of anti-American signs, with many respondents instead using the opportunity to express their opinions on the Trump administration and its policies.
Some visitors made light of the request, with one respondent suggesting that the park be renamed ‘Thor’s Hammer National Park.’ Others expressed concern about the impact of the Trump administration’s policies on the national parks and the environment. The National Park Service has not responded to questions about what it plans to do with the responses.
