Hiked the same trail in Yosemite five years apart. The difference is crazy.

First time, the High Sierra Camp loop was quiet. Went back this fall and the trail is way wider, almost double in spots. Rangers said it's from the huge visitor jump after some viral photos. Anyone know a less crowded 3-day loop in the area now?

Check out the Clark Range loop, way less foot traffic.

That loop is great, but I was up there last month and ran into three separate groups. It's getting more popular for sure. Still a solid pick if you go mid-week.
