Went up Guye Peak this morning and came back to this scene in the Snow Lake parking lot

The middle row of cars was completely blocked in by those who pulled in behind them. No possible way for them to escape. Plenty of room elsewhere in the huge lot. What is wrong with people?? Unless they all knew each other and were in one huge group or something. I was 2 cars away from being trapped as well.

LOL, I've seen this many times in the main parking lot at Summit Central in the winter. I think some people are just completely oblivious to their surroundings, then after one person does it it's like open season...

We need trail shuttles.

On a busy Friday at Mission I saw several people start a third row triple parking. I informed them that they were blocking other people in. I was polite, they ignored me so I called them assholes and told them the parking lot staff will have them towed.

Sure glad that I'm not a hwy 2 or I-90 hiker.

[Bowregard]

Me too. That would be one more car to deal with

Looks like a party!

This is the main strategy I've been promoting!!!! The main strategy is: Big Vehicles. All Solo. Everyone drive alone in a Big Vehicle. Fill up the lot so the hike is FULL. NO MORE PEOPLE IN MY WAY!!! Once the parking is FULL they will be turned away!

Seems like a few tires could use a good deflating.

In my old 4Runner I would have put it in 4low and gotten out

[Vertec]

Have winch, will get out.

During the past few years (after repeatedly seeing and hearing about these clueless parking idiots) I have begun what I refer to as "Defensive Parking". I always try to park with an exit strategy in mind, avoiding rows like this and other potential traps. And on occasion I've just turned around and left. Of course, the best strategy is to avoid these places altogether but it's hard to stay away from places that I love.
