In an apparent attempt to spend more money and resources rescuing stranded hikers and climbers in National Parks some people are pushing to eliminate guided access on public land. I suppose it would create more rescue jobs, and Washington’s big on that these days. In its current form the law would only affect some parks; The Alpine Institute has the whole story, including the email address for a guy who need his inbox filled with pleas to leave guiding open.
What does it mean to “hike a guide?”
“Hire”
Either I misread it, or Rocky fixed the typo in the headline.
