There are many fall out In New England.
A popular foliage-filled nature preserve in Lincoln, New Hampshire, is overrun with tourists, causing rush-hour traffic on the trails.
The chaotic scene that unfolded last weekend on Artist Bluff Trail in Franconia Notch State Park was described as “dangerous” and disgusting by Tamara Breaux, a veteran local hiker who documented her outdoor nightmare on social media. It was said that
Although hiking is a relatively easy physical challenge, the influx of tourists has made the situation even more dangerous and dire, Brough said. Fall Foliage Frenzy is a hilarious parody of a “Family Guy” episode.
“People were pushing around, going off the road, climbing on it, leaving trash behind,” she said. he wrote in the New Hampshire Facebook group.called for increased oversight by authorities to deal with “these crazy peppers.”
“There were a lot of people at the top and some of them were scared and crying and came down. I saw someone carrying a child and trying to bring them down into the bushes… There was no courtesy for these crazy tourists. There is no common sense.”
And like New York City's major transportation arteries, the upper part of the trail is also filled with “bottlenecks,” Breaux told WMUR.
“I couldn't help but think, maybe someone has to be rescued,” she added.
Brough wasn't far away.
State officials had to conduct several rescue operations over the weekend at other popular locations, including the Basin Cascade Trail in nearby Mount Cannon, the agency reported.
Chris McKee, New Hampshire Fish and Game conservation officer, said people outside the region also don't seem to be aware of the early climate change in the highlands.
“It's winter here in the mountains,” he said, noting that the state's iconic Mount Washington has already seen 5 inches of snow and subzero temperatures. “People just aren't ready.” did.
In Breaux's case, she said many people recklessly wore out-of-season sandals, shorts and even slippers.
Adding to the injury, the Fish and Game Department said tourist traffic on Interstate 93 was so backed up, impacting rescues that it took up to an hour to reach those in need. He said it took more than that.
As for a dissatisfied resident like Buro, she is ready to scatter to the wind like a fallen leaf.
“We turned around and went somewhere else,” a frustrated local woman concluded her post.
