What’s the difference between a wilderness and a National Park?
Wilderness areas are defined as roadless areas on public lands that have been designated by Congress to be preserved in a primitive condition. Parts of many National Parks are also preserved in a largely natural condition in which roads, mechanical devices and permanent structures are not allowed. However, National Parks can also include developed, roaded areas. With few exceptions, grazing and hunting are not allowed in parks, whereas they are allowed in wilderness areas.
