More people, more hikers, leads to established trails becoming crowded, mechanized, computerized, electronicized trails.
We live in a time when we can move to more remote trails, rougher trails, empty trails, unknown trails.
This won’t always be the case. Treasure what we have now. In time, it will become unknown, just a memory, just something people heard about, or talk about, or fantasize about, or can’t believe ever really existed.
