>>1412863this image actually tiggers me.
people who post images like this are LARPers. types who wear stonewashed jeans and overtly branded cabaella's jackets for their "hikes" that go 10 feet off a shuttle stop. Same people complain about foreigners at the parks (pro tip: just like the people who post this image, they dont do trails you cant park at)
you can get a lot of those same views with no people if you plan your route and timing right. Zion is the perfect example. if you follow joes guide instead of insta and not go during school vacation you can go pretty much an entire day not seeing other people. same (if not better views) from different perspectives. fill out a form online and you get do even better and get a permit hike.
