Excerpt from Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Development Concept Plan: Grant Grove/Redwood Mountain Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Parks, California; 2nd Review Draft; January 1986

In developing the deis, several issues were identified that require resolution: the poor condition and arrangement of overnight lodging units and the intrusion of some commercial facilities on the natural setting of Grant Grove Village; congestion and safety hazards at the Big Stump entrance station, the Y intersection leading to Grant Grove Village, and in some areas of the village itself; the recent increases in winter use and the demand for related services; the interest in and potential for tour group use of lodging facilities at Grant Grove; the projected gradual, but steady increases in overall par'k visitation and the related demands for overnight accommodations; the dispersed arrangement and inadequate size of administrative and operational facilities; and the poor condition and arrangement of both nps and concessioner' housing. Redwood Mountain was included in the deis evaluation because it is close to the heavily used Grant Grove area and provides an alternative experience; the issue concerning this primitive sequoia forest is the extent to which it should be made known and available to the visiting public.
