>meone who spends a lot of time hiking in southeastern Utah, I'm noticing a huge increase in trails across the rocks that are getting scarred by people wearing spikes or using other gear. Please try to make sure you're not leaving lasting tracks as you're out exploring.

I appriciate it my friend, and I definately understand now, this hike was a VERY humbling expirence and have no desire to do these hikes again #1 alone, and #2 with brand new snow. And thanks so much for letting me know! Safe travels to you my friend!
