I do like the term "vista enhancement." The Inn is not the only place
that could use some "vista enhancement" in the park system, Mt.
Rushmore could too. We were rather surprised that the park service was
not going to cut the conifer trees growing in front of President
Lincoln's beard!<br>
<br>
Maybe the park service should read the inscription above the Roosevelt
Arch at the north entrance "For the benefit and enjoyment of the
people" and use that as their guide when it comes to tree management.<br><br>If ears seem to be deaf to pleas for improving the Inn's vistas, perhaps some of the Mission 66 thinking is to blame?<br><br>Kyle Prast, <i>wife of Gazer David</i><br>

<div>Wouldn't it be wonderful to actually be able to view the geysers from the porch on the second floor of the inn? And how about being able to actually take in the view from the roadside pull outs. Too much to ask?</div>

<p><font size="2" face="Comic Sans MS">Note the lack of trees in front of the Inn even as recently as the late 1950's. I wish NPS would enhance today's view by removing a few. Heck, cut 'em all. It's not like they're endangered.</font></p>
