The overall number of hikers has not increased significantly in the past few
years. However, the number of hikers showing up has increased exponentially –
55, 60, 65 at the peak here over the past three years. Sly, this isn’t
2000 any more . .
-------------------------------------
I know it's not 2000 any more and that's part of my point. Rather than 100
hikers you have 300 starting. The optimum time for starting hasn't changed
but the number of hikers has.
If you look at the databook or postholer, the Sierra entry day is always
sometime in June. Slower hikers will pick some date in April to get to KM on
that day, average hikers towards the end of the month and faster hikers later
in May. Many of their paths will cross along the way. When should I start?
When should anyone start? The only way I can think of lessening your burden
would be to skip Hiker Heaven. I don't want to do that but I will if you
think it's best.
