Visitors to the country’s National Parks may be seeking tranquil communion with nature, but what they sometimes encounter is the noise of airplanes and helicopter tours. Researchers have assessed potential effects of such flights on the experience of park visitors.

Gee...if you wanted to know my reaction to that kind of noise, all you have to do is ask. Nothing takes the charm out of the backcountry quite like 120 db of jet flying low...

Last time I came back from Bearpaw there were some students actually asking at the trailhead. My hiking buddy answered their survey; I was too tired to do more than collapse.
