Preservation is the main goal of the NPS. They work hard to make them accessible, but no, it’s not perfect.. and they are under funded like many agencies.

I haven't had problems? Even got a whole campground to myself on a holiday last year, booked the week before.

I'm from Utah. May I ask which company is allowing you to work remotely?

Yes it’s extremely difficult! I managed to snag one last summer by setting up email notifications for openings and watching my phone like a hawk for weeks waiting for something to pop up lol.

Not only do they overbook, but they don't even cancel or show up. Every time I have a reserved camp spot, at least one the adjacent spots remains empty.

Mt Adams is so beautiful!

Seattle is full of software developers. I know many people personally who wouldn't blink at developing a bot for this if it would make the difference between having and not having a campsite.

It's fucking impossible. I'm convinced that the NPS just plain doesn't care if people can enjoy the parks so long as they are preserved.

Yes actually

April is one of montana's snowiest months

This is a bit different. That law would allow OP, as a non resident, to physically work in Utah for up to 20 days before having to pay income taxes there. For example, this would allow them to travel to headquarters a few weeks a year and still not have to pay taxes. In states like California, you must pay taxes on day 1 when working there temporarily as a non resident.

You're right, although they seem to have changed it recently, but that may just have been wrt withholding.

Thanks, that makes sense. I've only ever seen Dragontail from the other side facing south.

Last initiative on this failed pretty spectacularly I-1098

OP won’t if they’re not in Utah while doing the work. Remote workers paying taxes where the employer is based is only the case in a few “convenience of the employer” states like NY.

1. Most of the federal land agencies have been underfunded and understaffed for decades now. NPS, BLM, USFS. This is on purpose.
2. 2005 onward - the explosion of people using the outdoors.
3. Millions of boomers retiring and RVing post Covid.

Avoid the summer or get lucky. Even the shoulder seasons are stupid busy. Glacier was packed well after Labor Day, and before Memorial Day.

I'm more likely to do dispersed camping these days, but people like bathrooms.

Edit to add: Van lifers. Lots and lots of people in the last 7-10 years permanently traveling, and a large uptick post Covid with remote work.

There just isn't room for everyone, and of course the bots.

Sometimes the men’s and women’s room are separate and in different locations.

You plan on taking a bath there?

You'll need to pay UT income tax.

Edit: Perhaps not.

Interesting bit of trivia, Claude Rusk, a pioneer mountain climber in the area, described how he roped up to climb Mt Stuart: He grabbed the end of the rope in one hand :):). My how techniques have changed.

Why does it matter?

Looks like it is yours with that tag. Keeping the family together!

Thanks!! I’ll definitely stop by at some point this weekend and will let you know if I find it! I miss Tylor Ham! Are you a Scrapple family too by any chance? We’ve found Jones Scrapple at Thriftway in West Seattle.
