Excerpt from Development Concept Plan, 1974: Giant Forest and Lodgepole Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, California Hand in hand with the experience today in this complex are the functional relationships of areas, roads, trails and buildings within areas. Land use is consumptive. Lodging of several types, from motel units to tent-cabins, are scattered over much of the visible Kaweah and Lodge areas. Parking lots, maintenance areas and service areas all seem to occur sporadically and at the beckon of an immediate need, sacrificing overall unity and efficiency. Perhaps more important, development competes intensely with the great natural resources of the area, to the point where these resources are taken for granted, and are perceived as only a facet of the experience.
