Question

The author of "Under used Parks work to create Awareness, Access' takes the position that the underused parks discussed in the article deserve more visitors. How does he distinguish this position from that of others who might argue that it's best for these parks to remain "hidden gems”?

Answer 1

His main argument against keeping these lesser-known parks as somewhat of a secret is that they play an equal part in making up our natural landscape, and should therefore be given as much attention and should get to be visited as much as the more popular national parks. 

Answer 2

The author makes his point with the example of two remote parks: Wrangell-St. Elias and Dry Tortugas. Through the article, he emphasizes the importance of the tourist attraction for of the exploration of the USA by Americans themselves. The author concludes that these parks are important from the point of view of being unique landscapes and hidden gems for America.
