Funny, I often wish to have LESS services.

In fact, I would rather pay them to do less. Quit paving trails in all the nicest spots, the beauty of nature is ruined by the pavement, gift shops and throngs of overweight slobbering tourists!

I say leave the wilderness alone! Let the people who are willing to put in the extra effort to get there, enjoy it and take care of it.

It kills me every time I put money in an envelope, that I'M paying to ruin such a beautiful piece of wilderness.

I would pay double, for them to tear out the paved paths, and the gift shops, just leave a dirt trailhead parking lot, and a porta-pottie in the parking lot. The money I pay can go to 2 or 3 employees who's only job is to go clear a tree off the trial when it's reported by a hiker.

P.S. I'm also in California.
