I've never considered The Maze a deep-wilderness, just more of a remote backcountry area that can be a bit difficult to get to, but maybe that's because it's always been a 4x4 destination for me...

That used to be a regulation on the permit for backcountry camping in The Maze, but I'm not sure if it's still on there? Edit- Yep, it's still on there:

Nemo's has been there for quite a while...I've eaten there a number of times over the years and have no complaints

Cass Mulford named Ferns Nipple for a local resident named Fern Graham, according to Charles Kelly. - From Steve Allen's Canyon Country Place Names book.

I agree. At least Canyonlands still doesn't allow SxS's and ATV's, no matter how hard Utah tries to get them in there!

Well, I wasn't writing a complete history of the park, just providing enough facts that I could quickly backup with a link to make my point...

4x4's were the historical way to access Canyonlands. Without them the Park might never have been preserved in the first place. Read up on Bates Wilson and how he brought people into Canyonlands via Jeep to persuade them to make it a National Park. https://www.nps.gov/people/bates-wilson.htm

That $6 goes to Rec.gov, not the Park. The Park charges nothing.

I just wish you could get the permits ahead of time without having to go to the Visitor Center while they are open. When I went last spring just as things were shutting down for COVID they put out a self-service permit box for a little while and I was able to get my own permit late at night...

That's a good question. It does not mention the $30 fee in the proposed change, so I think it's just $5/night per person, but that should definitely be clarified.

I'm curious why there are no fees for day-use permits on the White Rim and Elephant Hill and they aren't proposing any increases there?

This line really stood out to me out of everything you wrote. One day doesn't even scratch the surface of Death Valley, there is way more than a lifetime of places to explore in DV and I sometimes wish I lived closer!
