Hike thru Hell----Snowgrass Trail to bypass and to Nannie Goat Ridge. Extremely dusty, usual campsite was also unusually dusty and increasingly crowded on Saturday. Fellow hiker had major sinus reaction on 2nd day, hiked out 2 days early of a planned 4 day hike. Dozens, hundreds even, of hikers, dogs and horses kept arriving. In 30 years of visits we never saw such use and increased abuse. Forest Service needs to get thia area on a serious permit basis. Avoid this place until rains arrive, you will be thankful for this warning. Best yet write letters advocating a permit syste.
