Perhaps at the visitor center, but you go out a ways and you can find
peace and quiet. There is a self-filtering going on - those who want to
experience peace and quiet badly enough can do so. It involves getting
away from people, and that is what the national parks are all about.

It's a matter of degrees. Even at Disney Land, you can find a quiet corner.

However, by definition if you're annoyed by someone else's noise, you
haven't found a place that is unpopular and remote enough to offer
uninterrupted peace and quiet.

This includes noise from people who choose to visit the site using an
aircraft.

I don't mind some minimal regulation to try to set aside quiet areas.
However, there are already what I think are too many restrictions on flight
over the Grand Canyon, and banning aircraft outright is simply not fair. It
panders to a special-interest group, at the expense of another group's
legitimate rights.
