This law protects the rights owners of cattle and sheep herds already had, before December 18, 1971, to trail their herds on traditional routes and water their stock, even though those routes run through the park. The Secretary may still set reasonable rules for using the driveways.

Nothing in this subchapter takes away rights that owners and operators of cattle and sheep herds already had, as of the day before December 18, 1971. Specifically, they keep the right to trail their herds along the traditional courses they used before that date, and to water their stock — even though the trails and watering spots are inside the park. There is one limit: the Secretary may issue reasonable regulations that govern how those driveways (the trail routes) are used.
