On not destroying the wilderness and immersive hiking experiences while achieving over-developed 'safe' trails
>>> “When all the dangerous cliffs are fenced off, all the trees that might fall on people are cut down, all of the insects that bite are poisoned… and all of the grizzlies are dead because they are occasionally dangerous, the wilderness will not be made safe. Rather, the safety will have destroyed the wilderness.” – Yorke Edwards (1924-2011), Canadian biologist & former director of Royal BC Museum.
