Anyone wants to see some crowded trails please come east, I have the hookup.
Ryan nailed it wit his description. July 2018 I had just set up camp in Alpine Lakes, the sun was setting, the wind had died out, I was so excited that I was all alone in this incredibly beautiful, wild place after a very hard day of hiking. Then a guy and his dog popped up out of nowhere. Even when you think you are alone you probably aren't. That said there are definitely places to go that are going to be empty, the major traffic is probably limited to three trailheads.
