May 2024 Pacific Northwest Weather
I feel like visiting the national parks became exceptionally popular with the pandemic a couple years ago and social media. It’s great that people want to get out and see some of the amazing things we have out west…but the some of the parks aren’t built for millions of visitors a year like there is now. I also feel like part of the problem is the type of visitors that come to the parks because they saw some cool TikTok videos and want to see it. Theres always been stupid people…but a lot of the younger generation don’t respect wildlife or vegetation. They just want some cool pics to post to social media. The amount of disrespect and unawareness towards wildlife ive seen in Yellowstone and other places was insane. So overall I think that most parks should have a reservation system. I think it’s a good way to limit people going in, but also maybe weeding out some of the idiots that show up (hopefully). -

I agree. The need for a reservation system is a bummer, but it’s also become necessary at this point. Didn’t hear about the meadows getting trampled so bad last August. I imagine that must have been up at Paradise. What a shame. Although it would be hard to beat the resource damage of the early 20th century when they had a golf course set up in the meadows. -

They have a reservation system now so hopefully that helps out with the overcrowding. I’m also hopeful the timed entry reservations help out at Mt.Rainier this year. Some people might not like it…but it definitely will help with so many people packing into parks. It’s necessary after the huge crowds of people that showed up at rainier last summer to check out the Perseids meteor shower. Tons of people trampled the fields. Straight up disrespectful to the park.- 1
