But what’s the alternative?
I’m not talking about the big national parks, which should absolutely have mass transit to shuttle people into it.
But the smaller parks, national/state forests, and public lands? I do a lot of backpacking so I’m regularly at an unnamed trailhead in the middle of my local national forest where we’ve been on dirt roads for the last 45 minutes. There’s not really any feasible way to build public transport to service all of that, and I would very very very much not want them building actual roads for busses or rails for trains.
Lmfao what are you talking about? There’s zero chance you’ll find a ride share or taxi willing to take you out on seasonal roads. And that’s also ignoring the fact that a lot of these are going to be ~2hrs or more away from an actual town so it’s not financially feasible either.
I’m talking about going out into actual nature. Still very far away from civilization.
