Yikes! Another "Don't go here destination!" Although, it could be a real cash cow for parking tickets.

I remember when this was among the worst of our problems. Those days seem quaint now.

That's a whole lot of privilege right there.

That video is insane. To bad that can’t just be left as a sacrificial mobbed hike. That many cars could overwhelm a pile of trailheads simultaneously.

It would take every tow truck in the Wenatchee valley all day to tow this many cars. If you drove 3 hours to get there then you might as well roll the dice. Odds are your car won't get towed. |
Why is nobody talking about the pack that was found in the river? Seems like something that should be looked into.

When I was a ranger in the Leavenworth district someone found a hand in the river. Just a hand.

Maybe someone needed a hand while crossing Mtneer Creek.

I'll be honest. When I see this, my paranoid personality makes me wonder if some trailhead / wilderness vigilante will go up and start slashing tires on all those illegally parked cars.
What a cluster f### that would be. Dozens upon dozens of cars with 1 or more punctured tires

Colchuck Lake is one of the few places on earth where you can simultaneously see a lake and a mountain. Many know this and that is why it is so crowded.

Every location is now a potential "social media" destination. It only takes one person to post an "alluring" picture and like pigs to a trough the hoards blindly follow, with iPhones to guide them and Bluetooth speakers for encouragement.

A couple years ago I forgot to hang my "i'm alive and over 62" tag in my car window at the snow lakes TH. When I arrive back at the car I found a ticket on my window. Cost was $35 for the ticket and a $50 "service fee" to the organization back east where it was mailed. A few rangers could make somebody, somewhere a lot of money (and get the word out) hanging parking tickets on these vehicles.

C'mon, the only two reasons to hike are to see and be seen.

I thought those were the only two reasons to go to Mariners games.
