...Sierra Club most is the prospect that the pack travelers and other outdoorsmen will no longer be the only kings on this hill. Jack Hope, senior editor of Natural History magazine, voiced the typical objection. Disney's plan, he said, "conjures up pictures of tourists picking the grounds clean, of skiers watching the white wrappers of their candy bars floating to the ground."

All services have some flexibility in this regard and are anxious to work with host institutions in search of agreeable compromise ground.
