Cedar Breaks might become national park

I'm curious what other folks think of this? I'm curious how different it is from Zion and Bryce that there needs to be a 3rd national park.

Is there room for a sixth national park in Utah?
Federal officials and Iron County planners say there might be - at Cedar Breaks.
The 6,000-acre national monument, with its stunning redrock amphitheater and high alpine scenery, already draws over 500,000 visitors annually. Monument manager Paul Roelandt and Forest Service district ranger Dayle Flanigan told Iron County commissioners this week that by expanding the monument to include the adjacent Ashdown Gorge Wilderness Area and Flanigan Arch, which lies just outside the wilderness area, a new park would not only be feasible - but a boon to the county's economy.
