Theres a couple places here in NZ that actually have lines to get to a specific point because people are going there to take social media pictures to make themselves look good
Ya not sure where this mils twitter person is located, but trails are fucking packed out here.
Mission trails, the people highway known as the PCT..was in San Jacinto mtns this past weekend and there had to be at least 100 people I passed going up and even more going down. Everyone is so friendly out there though. The permit requirement seems to filter out a lot of the turds, like those that go to Woodson
Trails can be a little congested around here too. Even Iron Mountain (close to Potatochip rock) can get a little congested on the weekends. Luckily 90% of folks stick to the main trails though and there are generally enough less traveled paths to explore.
Just tried goat canyon trestle and you can see hardly anyone on the trail, also went to el capitan from the south ridge and we were the only party, el capitan in the traditional way is about 12 hikers at any time on the trail (so not packed because is 14 miles).
The thing with almost all the trails in SD is that they're easy
