Seems like the property should be redesignated
a National Park and turned over to the US Gov
Park System. It’s pretty obvious from the
pictures that the roads running and and on top
of it are NOT the responsibility of the present
owners. They eight families gotten their monies
worth out of Mother Nature at $12 a shot...time
to get philanthropic!

I agree, but the owners should be paid fair market value for it.

Let’s just do away with all property rights for scenic views.

How’s the view from your place?

I’ve visited there. That place is managed at least as well as National Park site.

I question whether all national monuments need to belong in government hands. Many historic caves are in private hands, for example, and get managed quite well.

I’m not a complete libertarian on this issue. We do need laws that forbid someone from destroying a designated national monument.
