Hey rage; why you think NPS ruined Death Valley?

When visiting it before, the trash was picked-up, the rangers were friendly, there was a steady but manageable flow of people through the park, few people broke the rules (going off-trail, etc) and the people were those who were out-door regulars who respected the park, wildlife and surroundings.

After the park went National, every single thing I mentioned above changed 100%.
