Ban people from going into close proximity of the Arches at Arches National Park in Utah.

Created by B.U. on April 12, 2015

Arches National Park should ban people from going into close proximity of the arches or at least regulate the amount of traffic underneath them (there are close to no rangers at the arches). At the park there are currently no restrictions on people going underneath the arches or getting close to them making it extremely easy for people to vandalize and destroy the arches people from around the world come to see. Hundreds of people go below the arches and stand directly underneath them for a picture. Not only do they create erosion but it ruins the viewing experience for everyone else trying to enjoy the arch alone. If all the arches are vandalized and broken, we would have destroyed over a thousand years of formations in as short as 86 years.
