I think maybe a small number of first-come, first-serve or lottery-type reservations would be preferable to a fee-based way of limiting access. Outdoor access is expensive enough in Washington as it is.
- mikestew 11y agoA little late on catching this one, sorry. But to hike above the tree line at Mount Saint Helens already requires a permit, which are limited in number (100/day, IIRC). And yet folks still can't be bothered to pack a few doggie poop bags to pick up their litter. So I don't know what the solution is. I don't mean to imply the whole route to the top is littered in Gatorade bottles. But the amount that is there is disappointing. Hell, I've seen cigarette butts at 8,000 feet. I'm torn between anger at the laziness, and being impressed that a smoker could make it that far up the mountain. :-)
