One of my favorite places. I think it's a fine idea. IMO the more people who visit and experience these places, the more support for parks and the environment. Not everyone will or can hike down, I think the impact of a lift of some sort is easily manageable. As to a gondola 25 miles away ruining the pristine South Rim, give me a break, tell them to turn around for a "pristine" view. Given the fact that it's built up, I think a lift in the central corridor would be fine. But then I was OK with the quotations from Psalms too
The bitch about no jobs on the reservation, and the bitch about any development that might actually create some.
