There are only a few places where the minimum altitudes are enforced, the Grand Canyon being the most well-known. The dotted areas may be a recommendation or request right now. If we push the limits, get enough complaints from the general public, then we will be faced with more widespread restrictions. I enjoy the peace and quiet of our national and state parks and understand the 2,000 agl recommendation. I also prefer to keep my windshield and leading edges intact and insurance rates lower. It gives me three more miles of glide distance. Most of my bird encounters have happened at or below this altitude.
