Trump’s Quietly Working to Give Part of Yosemite to a Private Developer

The National Park Service is under pressure to make an unprecedented deal that cedes a quarter-mile strip of the park.

Might as well just build a private air strip in the park

Fake news. The article doesn't even support the title.

My take on this is that it is a proposed land swap. I cannot think of one good reason why it is in the public interest to trade away a part of Yosemite. This is a nakedly obvious proposed trade to enrich a land developer.

A good article that goes into further review of the allegation, Gov response to inquiry, and Gov's ability, etc... :

Can the President Give Away Land Inside Yosemite National Park?

A bombshell report on Friday alleges the National Park Service of trying to execute a land exchange inside Yosemite National Park for a private road. The Interior Department calls the story “simply untrue.”

Wait until you guys go to yellow stone and find out every single accomodation is operated by private contractors who make their own rules.

Fwiw, there are vendors all over parks/national forests as well as private property.

AFAIK, all ski areas are privately run.
