9. I love the Chiricahuas, but would rather see it designed wilderness ..

It is a very inhospitable land, and would be “a pearl before the swine” in most cases. Many of your typical park visitors would not see the sights depicted in these photos. Many would visit to ride abominable off-road vehicles, despoiling the sacred land of Cochise (who is buried here, in a secret location .. the Cochise Stronghold).
I’m a big proponent of public lands, in the vain of Teddy Roosevelt and Gifford Pinchot. And these lands can remain accessible, without inviting the maddening crowds.
