Does the Wilderness Act apply to National Parks?My understanding is Olympic Nat.Parks wilderness areas are designated by the Park Service. Designated wilderness outside National Park units is Congressionaly designated. This may be why power tools are allowed in National Park wilderness areas and not in non national park  wilderness areas.
