erable indifference if not hostility. So far as I can see, 1976 will come and go and wilderness and other aspects of our great natural heritage will hardly be thought about. In our early days, wilderness helped make our people great. They were resourceful, reliable and courageous—they had to be. If we are losing that greatness, it could also be, in part, befause we have lost almost all of the wilderness.
I seem to have digressed to the broader, philosophical aspects of wilderness without meaning to and so will return to more practical items. Opponents are now saying that if wilderness is brought out to the park boundaries that access from the bottom of the mountains will be stopped and that entry can be made only from “the top down.” This goes along with the idea that trails will be closed. I once counted the access points at the boundary shown on the official Park Service map of its wilderness proposal. There were more than 30 of them—small nonwilderness enclaves at the boundary intended to accommodate public entry at those points.
