Counterpoint. This is the Duzy-Ershim trail:
31 miles of terrain, which takes four days of slow rock-crawling to traverse. Every bit as challenging as the Rubicon, but far less crowded. You need at least one more vehicle, at least one locking differential, plus both skill and courage.
This never was a road, a wagon route, or a mule trail. It is a 600 foot wide right of way for 4WD vehicles, between 9000 and 10000 feet above sea level, between the John Muir Wilderness and the Dinkey Lakes Wilderness. It is not maintained, in fact there are no facilities any more elaborate than trail markers.
You can stop and camp at many spots, and there are literally dozens of spots to catch Golden Trout while day hiking into the wilderness.
These are the state fish of California, among the most difficult fish to catch, and very tasty to boot. It's my favorite place to go, and I have never seen a single tourist, and seldom seen anybody else. If I'm lucky, I may take my grandkids there before I die.
I'm not seeing a lot of relevence to the topic of Capitalism in this discussion.
