Thanks, Arnold!<br /><br />I'm no great fan of park fees, particularly exhorbitant ones. However it has been remarkably easy to park at Pantoll (compared to ever finding a weekend parking spot at Mountain Home); Rock Springs has enough elbow room to take up the overflow from us Pantoll fee evaders (not to mention it's a cool trailhead in its own right); you can see from the agency standpoint, the imbalance of fees/no fees for these two popular, close-by trailheads is worth taking a look at. <br /><br />I'm also one of the old-fashioned people who pays the parking fee at China Camp. <br /><br />As often as I go hiking, fees add up. I'll also be hiking a little on Tam, a fair amount other places.<br /><br />Ben PeaseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
