Study: Reservations system at Arches NP could cut visitor spending by as much as $22M

A reservation-based entry system at Arches National Park during its busiest times of the year has caused many local residents and business owners to either welcome or reject the idea ever since National Park Service Southeast Utah Group Superintendent Kate Cannon first floated the concept in late 2014.
