Have any parts of your national parks been sold to the private sector?

During the George W. Bush administration, a concerted effort was made to start selling parts of the national parks. Have you actually encountered this?

 
I remember hearing about the efforts to centralize the access to the grand canyon under a comercal enterprize. Any body know what the story is on that I lost track of it. How did it come out?

The only thing I know about that is that I am pretty sure one company runs all hotels, tourism, food, etc. in National parks. I can't remember the name. The Gov't funded rangers only deal with trails, permits, etc., I think. But I could be wrong. I don't pay attention to that in my NP's, because I am too busy hiking and having fun.

It would not surprise me, though.

I wonder how much Angel's Landing would sell for....
