Take off from there and fly in. Totally legal at that point.Sad to see this as we entered the Valley of Fire in Nevada.

Where does the National Park start?Take off from there and fly in. Totally legal at that point.
Is it? Is this a National Park?+1. Completely accurate.
The sign is right after you enter and pay to "use" the park. The sign is a metal one, not paper.
And this is a State Park, not National.
Most states have documents a lot of drone no-fly zones. Nothing new.The sign is right after you enter and pay to "use" the park. The sign is a metal one, not paper.

The state has no jurisdiction over its airspace. Only the FAA does. So they can prohibit drones in the park, but it only covers takeoff, controlling, and landing.Sorry... You didn't say that you had to pay, or if it was a State/National park. I was just going by the picture you posted... I had always figured State/National parks were off-limits. Wouldn't it be the same even if you took off from outside the park?

It is a fine line between legal and not legal right now. As the law is written you cannot "launch or land" in a National Park, the law does not address flying over or through a NP - so there is a technical loophole there. However I have had NP Rangers in both Utah and here in Washington tell me that they will find a reason to prosecute drones within the park; endangering tourists/visitors, flying BLOS, harassing wilflife, etc.Sorry...
