My last trip to Blue Lake showed me how things have shifted
I remember how the trail to Blue Lake has changed. When I was a kid, it was just a dirt path with one old sign. I found a waterfall that wasn't on any map. Now, part of the path is paved, and there are many benches. You need a permit to hike there because it's so crowded. It's nice that more folks can enjoy it, but I miss the peace. Makes me wonder if we're loving these places too much.
