Galen Rowell called 395--at least the stretch south of Carson City--the most beautiful road in America.

1. I never mentioned anything about not going or any sort of deterrent whatsoever.
2. No one mentioned wilderness areas, nor is that where the litter and overuse problem are their worst. This thread, and that article, are about National Parks (and easily accessed areas in general).
3. Take a step back, go look up anecdotal evidence, and then get back to me on which one of us is posting it before calling me 'fucking stupid'.powdork.com - new and improved, with 20% more dork.

good god man.
1. no one said you did. did i say "Powdork didn't go to the park because he read an article posted on TGR"? i was relaying how i felt about your correlation and clarifying my post in response to benny's dumbass post.
2. you taking this so personally is hilarious. no one would visit national parks if that article does it's job. it's meant to make people think twice about visiting by highlighting what happens where lazy idiots go.
3. is "human waste and toilet paper were scattered along photogenic lakes and streams" empirical evidence or hysterical exaggeration meant to generate page views?
Never called you, powdork, fucking stupid. but anyone who takes that article as a deterrent to visiting parks, forests, and wilderness is.Last edited by mcphee; 06-23-2021 at 07:15 AM.

Thanks for all of the insights... and the other usual crap
If you are headed to the shitshow that is our nation's NP this summer...
people reserve sites for cheap. then cancel them.
I got 2 nights at grant (will need to move sites probably) and 1 at madison. just have to keep checking the site.
then I have some random nights but found some potential spots to camp.
then i got a night at squirrel meadow cabin. anyone been there? looks weird and remote.
then maybe wind river or down to steamboat area. dumont lake? summit lake? will my outback be fine up buffalo pass? one way to find out! if you see an outback with a sticker that says 'Advil is my Yoga' honk and give me the finger and smile and yell PENIS!I <heart> hot tele-moms

In Pinedale the Log Cabins are an excellent choice. Great owner, great cabins. Walk to the brewery. Count me amongst the dumbfucks who have gotten ticketed in Pinedale so watch your speeds (2003 my very last speeding ticket and still bent about it).
Even better stay at the Big Sandy Lodge. All inclusive breakfast lunch and dinner with good choice of beers and whiskeys ala cart. Rustic cabins with only gas lanterns for light. Almost right on top of the trail to Big Sandy Lake (10 miles rt) or (Cirque maybe 20 miles RT). Either way it is at the end of a bumpy gravel road in almost paradise. Young owners who are cool. Food is really good. We stayed last year after our backpack and it was a badass way to be pampered and cool our heels after a week of suffrage in the backcountry.

This is where growing up in an area with lots of small towns is beneficial--they actually covered small-town speed traps in driver's Ed, plus it was pretty common knowledge that at least 85% of the time, the cops had nothing better to do than play Roscoe and hang out behind a bush at the edge of town.
It's especially brutal when the speed drops a quarter mile or more before you properly get into town and it feels like a higher speed road.

well then sorry for being overly defensive. i was the one quoted so i mistook it as directed at me. to answer #3, in these parts it was definitely empirical evidence. Keep in mind we had a 'not huge but large' influx of people that were basically newbies and were only hitting the trails because they were the only thing open, and yet all the facilities (trash and toilets) were closed and locked (or overflowing because they weren't being serviced).
But that's just during the pandemic. The rest of the time it only happens on summer weekends, holidays, busy winter weekends. Bonus is folks are now easily able to rent side by sides and take them to Twin Peaks areas and elsewhere, where few of them stay on the roads unless they're with the guided programs (maybe).powdork.com - new and improved, with 20% more dork.

Travel Article from the NYT:
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/22/t...eWeekenderLink
Except for two points nothing new we don't already know, reservations a must, lodging prices up, workers in short supply, housing for workers extremely difficult to find. Locals complaining about {fill in the topic here}, topics: Traffic congestion, crowds, noise, mountain town / outdoors etiquette, trash, full trailhead parking.
Two new points:
- Ski resorts are not just for skiing anymore, they are upping their game as a summer destination.
- There's a new hotel in Jackson Hole named The Cloudveil, https://thecloudveil.com, odd coincidence with the former clothing company of partially the same name being from there.
Had to look up "via ferrata" to see it in a picture.“The best argument in favour of a 90% tax rate on the rich is a five-minute chat with the average rich person.”
- Winston Churchill, paraphrased.
