Horrendous amounts of people on this hike. On a Saturday we ran into no less than 100 groups across the 10 miles. At 830am parking was overflow to the highway. The larches are not worth the crowds.
By the time we left the trail, cars were double parked in and the lineup of cars went miles in both directions on Highway 20. Truly sad to see, the Northwest needs a permitting system to avoid environmental damage to the area.
