I only see two choices...leave things like they are....or remove ever essence of modern world items entirely (bridges, roads, paths, hotels, camp grounds, etc).
Make Yosemite Valley the most unused place on the face of the Earth...even by environmentalists.
That’s really the two choices we face, isn’t it?

Make Yosemite Valley the most unused place on the face of the Earth...even by environmentalists.
I’ve lived and worked in a half dozen national parks.
Park service believes their ultimate goal is to save the parks by not allowing people into areas they control.

(NPS at the grand canyon has a SWAT team, no lie )
