Hot take: Trail development has made my old favorite route feel like a city park
I used to hike the Redwood Creek trail and it was just trees and quiet, no signs or crowds. Now they widened the path, put in benches, and you hear music from hikers all the time. It doesn't feel like a real backpacking trip anymore, more like a busy walk. I miss when routes were rough and you actually got away from it all, lmao.

That sanitized feeling kills the adventure, like a theme park version of nature.

Where's the real risk or surprise?

Doesn't it just make everything feel kind of fake?
