    Thanks to articles like this, these remote places will soon be overrun with people, much like the High Peaks.

    Mark, I doubt the Sable Highlands will ever be nearly as crowded as the High Peaks. For one thing, there isn’t that much parking.

    CK, what do you mean by “long” single track? DEC has been supportive of the single-track trails built by the Barkeater Trails Alliance.

    I often wonder when these areas are written about that the authors think about the potential environmental impact of new hot spots for human recreation and exploration.

    Debbie, the logging roads on easement lands can withstand much more use than, say, a hiking trail up a mountain. And the easement lands see little traffic. So I would say the overall environmental impact is minimal.
