There is a loose but powerful coalition challenging these hiking rights.

What coalition is this ? Do they have a name ? Where can I read more about them ?

Tourists can simply sit in their rooms and watch... live streams of the "dangerous Hawaiian wilderness".

Finally! Big Island tourism pays off with jobs for Puna.

With the same logic applied for lost hikers and hiking trails, we should also outlaw swimming, snorkeling, diving, and motorcycles.

The problem is that there's a law specifically disallowing liability for incidents that happen in the ocean, while a similar bill to protect landowners (both the state and private) that had nearly universal support was killed by (surprise!) the Trial Lawyers Association, thanks to Sylvia Luke and Joe Souki.

I don't believe it. National Parks strive to get more people using their trails because fewer people are venturing outside these days to recreate.

Trails are by and large plenty safe. When you venture off them "into the wild", trouble is much more likely to develop.
