Just tell people there is gold/oil/some kind of rare earth elements there, people will start flocking, turning the area into a city overnight. Unless of course the government does not allow development on that area. Though I do wonder what would be lost aside from a beautiful view if people do start building a city in grand canyon itself?
Trump did remove national parks from the protection of exploration for oil and resources. He has also said in his "1 day of being a dictator" he would drill drill drill!
So I imagine in his new America there could be oil rigs in all of the national parks much like they are throughout Northwestern Texas.
