>>2208011 about the dacks, but one thing I really took away from my last trip to the High Peaks was how ridiculous the AMR is. They have a manned parking lot with a motorized sensor gate at the only way in, then when you get near the main trailhead there's an entire little rich person village with fancy cars, a golf course, tennis courts, clubhouse, and their own dedicated ranger's station. These fucks even have a paved road (also a main hiking trail) and a bus loop that takes them all the way up to the Lower Ausable Lake and back. It's nuts, made me wish I went back to the Loj or something that at least felt local. At least the lookout of the lake and the sunset hike I took to Algonquin Mt. let me have the entire summits to myself.
