Question

How do they manage the grand canyon?

Answer 1

You have to have a permit to camp in the inner canyon. Also you have to take a shuttle bus for most of the South Rim. Autos are not allowed past a certain point. That is my favorite place on Earth. The picture i posted is a bighorn sheep at Grand Canyon on the way to Phantom Ranch.

Answer 2

National Park Service handles the Grand Canyon, but also a company called Xanterra is involved in the hotels/ restaurants and other things at the rim. For maintaing trails there are trail crews that keep up the North Kaibab, South Kaibab, and Bright Angel trails ( they are used the most).

Answer 3

"The National Park Service (NPS), a part of the Department of the Interior, operates the Grand Canyon National Park.  The Secretary of the Interior is ultimately responsible for the overall development of regulations impacting National Parks in America, however, Superintendents are appointed over each National Park and they bear direct management authority over their particular national treasure.  The current Superintendent over the Grand Canyon National Park is Joseph F. Alston.  Other professional organizations have been enlisted as well that generate support for the General Management Plan for the Grand Canyon."
