That stretch of the Skagit is possibly the best salmon spawning area left in the Puget Sound basin. Yes, there is a highway on the north side, but the south side is still wild. Why should we be sending people into one of the last places where a bear might still be able to catch a salmon dinner without having to constantly be on the lookout for human intruders?<br /><br />Especially when there are so many other better places to build trails. Like viewpoints on the numerous ledges and "balconies" north of the highway.<br /><br />People have already taken over so much of this planet - can't we leave anyplace alone? Putting a new trail smack dab into one of the very last wild lowland areas left in the Cascades, right next to the last best remaining salmon river, would be a big mistake. I'm disappointed that the American Alps campaign is even considering such a harmful idea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
