The comment
I believe that the correct ruling is Alternative One -- No Action
I spend a great deal of time in the outdoors hiking and camping both in my home state of VT ( green mountain national forest) and in the medicine bow national forest, Laramie district in WY, which I try to visit every year, especially LaBonte canyon and the areas around Wedawoo.
I've also traveled extensively in other countries like Switzerland and France, but have not seen undisturbed areas to match what we have here in the US.
What we have is special and it belongs to all American citizens, not just the relative few who would profit by degrading these amazing places.
In addition to the negatives most people think of, I am concerned about the noise pollution that would be created by road building and the later use of the roads.
Millions of people treasure these areas as they are -- and the current uses and protections keep opportunities in place for future generations.
