A quiet mountain trail turned crowded after a viral post, and I'm debating the cost
Last year, I hiked a peaceful mountain path that hardly anyone knew about. Recently, a video of it blew up on social media, and now it's constantly busy with people. Some say this is good because it gets more folks outdoors and can bring money to nearby towns. Others argue that the noise, litter, and trail damage hurt the natural area and ruin the solitude. I see both points, but watching the place change so fast makes me uneasy. Where do you draw the line between sharing cool places and protecting them? I'd like to hear what others think about this trade-off.
