Hendricks sought to preserve the primitive nature of Capitol Reef, including successfully fighting to keep the Burr Trail from being paved inside the park. Worthington said Hendricks was passionate about protecting park resources in the face of pressure from surrounding landowners. “I learned about standing up for doing what’s right from Al to assure that our neighbors — private individuals, county commissioners and the Bureau of Land Management — also adhered to the law.”

Roy said he and Hendricks became experts on RS 2477, the federal rule that governed roads across federal lands for more than a century.
