The comment

This summer I got to spend time with my little girl at the Nantahala Outdoor Center nestled in the magical Great Smoky Mountains. Her eyes lit up at the roaring water as it hit each bolder, she dipped her toes in the crisp, cool water and skipped rocks across its surface. She marveled at the little butterflies that floated by, and giggled at the ducks that came right up to the shore looking to share a snack. Please protect this area by keeping the 2001 Roadlesss Rule intact. I want to keep reliving this magic with her for years to come.

Keep learning. Keep speaking up.The Roadless Rule depends on public engagement. Share what you've learned.
