For those who are wondering: 2 million acres is slightly less than 0.1% of total US land size.
Aside from that, while the original post in this thread implies the land would be "closed off", that isn't actually true. In fact, the bill included the establishment of new hiking trails, and the protection of existing ones. Also, it included an amendment stating that lands now open to hunting and fishing would stay open for hunting and fishing.
As for the bit about vehicles (just about the only part in the original post that is actually true), anyone who has ever hiked knows just how much vehicles can damage previously unspoiled lands.
