People could enter real wilderness in national forests without being charged, counted or controlled. Enter at your own risk. There are no gatekeepers in our national forests. At least, that's the way it used to be. Nowadays, the idea of charging fees for access to national forest lands is growing.
Some forests charge fees for various recreational uses.
Other forests are charging fees for access only to special sites, such as Pataki Ruins and the V Bar V Ranch. Still others have avoided using any fee system. Now the Coconino National Forest is planning to charge fees for certain types of recreation around Sedona. We are designing a business. That must have been what Walt Disney said when he started building Disneyland in California.
