Either trail is “close-to-nature”. Maybe you could leave the Kindle at home? Heh.

I like to hike, but some of that trail looks pretty rough. Maybe I’ll take the new trail. I just hope the park has it worked out for the best of both worlds…people and environment. If we can’t get close to nature, who’ll know what it was really like?

Not picking an argument. Just looking to point out that hiking has caused a great deal of dammage and erosion in the park.
But at the same time those that support hiking are trying to eliminate or significantly restrict other trail uses which do not cause these erosion problems

The new trail was built with runoff in mind… as are most modern purpose-built trails.

Water bars are strategically placed to keep water from running down the trail.

I rarely ban comments, but you seem like you just want to argue.

So you took down my comments about you being the ones that are causing the erosion which results in the boulder fields you then complain about? Nice.
So what do you think that nice smooth trail will look like in a few years?
It will look just like the old trail, a washed out river bed!!
