Various groups stand against Yellowstone paddling bill

The Greater Yellowstone Coalition is among various groups opposing proposed legislation that would open up more rivers and streams to paddling in Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks. The Yellowstone and Grand Teton Paddling Act, which was introduced last month by U.S. Rep. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., is "not the right mechanism" to address a new recreational use in a national park and "would set a dangerous precedent," wrote Caroline Byrd, who directs the Bozeman, Montana, environmental advocacy group.
