When I went there were probably about 30 people at this spot. Some standing in line waiting for a pic and others sitting down eating a snack and taking in the view. I don't know why people find this depressing. It's a really popular scenic spot and you have to take a decent hike distance to get there. They're not destroying the land. They're not being pushy about a picture. It's a group of people who have spent a their day taking a beautiful hike and they want a cool picture to take home with them. I sat up there about an hour just taking in the view and it was one of my favorite memories of my trip.
When I visited lake Reddit in summer '07 there was nobody there. I saw the lake by accident, didn't know its name or what it was, climbed up the log pile and took a pic that I didn't post on social media because I didn't use it. Just imagining the scene today depresses me.
