Do any of you voluntarily avoid hiking the High Peak Trails and "Trail-less" above 3000' this time of year? Would you postpone hikes in the referenced sensitive areas and follow the recommended alternative hikes? It's my understanding there are trail hiking restrictions in other mountain ranges in the northeast during 'mud season'. It seems to me there is always mud holes in the warm season in the High Peaks; would an outright seasonal hiking ban on the most sensitive trails, enforced by DEC, make any sense?
