I've photographed in Denali N P since 1980, there were bans then on
professional photography in the park and only a very limited number of
verified professional photographers were able to get a permit to photograph.
The permits were for a few days and were highly sought after by the pros.
One of the reasons I would stay at Camp Denali when they had a pro
photographer during their enlightenment sessions, was that we could wander
the road on their specially outfitted bus to our hearts content and not have
to rely on the parks buses.

The workshops I have participated in were mostly within National Forest
Service lands, and the organizers had the proper permits. I wouldn't take
a workshop with anyone who was not following the rules, any more than I
would buy firewood from someone cutting in a National Forest without a
permit.
If I go onto NFS land and take photos for my personal use, nobody is going
to question it before, during, or after. People need to take a deep breath
and go back to worrying about FF cameras.

The article above links to the Federal Parks Service comment page, if
anyone is interested in having their voice heard.
It strikes me as very odd that an environmentalist like Ansel Adams
might be precluded from photographing in Yosemite (if he were alive
today) when it was his photographs that helped spur the care and
conservation of our National Parks (and in some cases, the creation of
NEW parks) by bringing their stunning beauty to the public's
consciousness.
