Enough is enough! We cannot destroy everything for the sake of tourism and money!

this is a special public area. To privatize it for a few elite would be wrong.

I oppose the development. We don’t need another tourist development. We need sustainable jobs that don’t destroy our communities resources. People are greedy and terrible.

Many Beautiful places all across the west have been misused and thoroughly diminished by development to the point that there are very few left untouched. Enough is enough ... No More !

SITLA has lost sight of its stewardship mission "Administering trust lands prudently...for Utah’s schoolchildren..."There are lands that have greater value being left as they are for the children's future.

Moab is already an over development disaster. It's time to start carefully planning growth, not allowing more.

Under canvas is lame and ridiculous and pathetic anyways, go back to LA! Get out of the desert and leaving looking glass alone!

Unfortunately it's not the hippies. It's the wealthy patrons of industrial tourism who really don't care about how their presence damages their fragile environment they seek. It's hordes of outsiders who have no clue about what it means to live in the desert and are only seeking hits on their Instagram selfies in front of some red rock wonder.

Any project involving any change or commercial interest affecting Looking Glass needs public input.

Furthermore, during years of drought the ranchers pull their livestock off the allotments at Looking Glass to give the forage a chance to recover. The tourists don't care. They will overrun the area no matter what the environmental impact, then return home without a second thought about the damage they have left in their wake.

Looking Glass is on Sitla lands are there are a lot of private grazing rights out there. There are also historic cow camps built into the cliffs that will be certainly overrun with industrial tourism. The desert ecosystem there is very fragile, especially during this drought. The developers will take the water that livestock and wild animals depend on. This destructive development needs to stop now.

This area does not need more commercial development that caters to tourism and exports the desert. This is also a colossal waste of water during a drought that is significant enough that Gov. Cox has invited Utahns to "pray for rain". Seriously. Resources are already over-tapped for local residents. Just stop, nobody asked for this.

Stop building the area up! We DO NOT NEED more lodging!!!! The parks and lands can't handle the number of people we have visiting!
