I spent six months helping to construct this trail, and I fully support this proposal.

How about charging those that have to be rescued the costs of 'rescuing' instead of making the rest of us pay for it?

Amen, amen, amen! Say it again! When do the majority of normal people stop being punished by the minority of morons?

So do they close down the beach and make people buy "permits" when a surfer dies? How about the desert when a dirt biker dies? Do they close down the mountain when a skier dies??? You put up as many restrictions as you want but you still can't fix stupidity. It is a fact that stupid will still jump from 100ft rocks and kills themselves. Big deal, that's just Darwin taking out the trash.

The permit system is a good idea, but what would be better is to increase the amount and use the money to fund an insurance that would pay for the costs of 'rescuing' those that cannot make it back

It is sad that the "permit" system has to be implemented. This is a beautiful hike and one that should be taken seriously. Thanks to a few people that were not prepared to hike, or were not serious about their surroundings, the rest of us must now make arrangements to hike. I like to hike all around and being spontaneous about where to go. This all goes to show that people are not willing to be serious and must be treated as children with these rules red tape.

I'm no fan of red tape, but permits and quota systems have been used for years with success at many popular trailheads in California. Not only does a permit provide the opportunity for Forest Service personnel to speak with the visitor about preparation, but it also makes the visit more enjoyable due to less people on the trail and at the destination.

Just blow the ******* thing up and get it over with. I’m tired of watching fun places destroyed by red tape thanks to a few morons. How’s this for a new rule: Don’t climb to the top and stand at the edge of a 200ft cliff. Also, make the ******s who can’t make the hike and have to be ‘rescued’ pay a large fee.
