Whats the difference between wilderness and a national park?
Many National Parks contain Wilderness Areas, although the Park itself is not a Wilderness in entirety. 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 highly natural condition in which roads, mechanical devices, and permanent structures are not allowed. While national parks can also include developed, roaded areas-wilderness areas do not. With few exceptions, grazing and hunting are not allowed in National parks, whereas they are allowed in wilderness areas.
