    And a road to the top allowing endless tourists up there won’t result in more trash accumulating on the mountain? Not to mention erosion.

    Have you been to an easily-accessible natural wonder before? People who can get up close treat them like shit. That’s why most of them are only viewable from a distance.

    I give it two weeks from the time a road to the top gets completed before someone spray paints their graffiti tag on the summit.

      • who said anything about a road, I mentioned a rail car.

      • that’s what you install guard rails and write rules of conduct for. This tragedy of the commons narrative more often than not comes from understaffed park workers not having the funding to adequately police park visitor behavior with the up close sites, the tomb of the unknown soldier is also easily accessible and yet is one of the most well maintained and respectfully observed sites in the world.

      • I’m pretty sure the spray paint can would have blown off their hand by the time they got to the summit from becoming so much more pressurized by the high altitude.

        Good to hear you being “sure” about the spray paint can. Are you also “sure” about permanent marker?
