Giving New Meaning to National "Park"

Grand Canyon National Park is planning the dramatic step of banning most of the 1.5 million cars and buses that make their way through the park each year. As of 2002, visitors will be asked to leave their vehicles outside the park entrance and ride a light rail public transit system into the park.
