Joan and I struggle with it too. We are about to go on a family vacation (my in-laws), where our visit may significantly impact us. OTOH, we try to live a more minimal lifestyle overall. Finding the proper place on the spectrum is a balance between “fly every weekend” and “never travel anywhere by bike.”

As a PA guy, I do wrestle with my impact on these beautiful, yet fragile, places when I go west with friends or family. I think every hiker & backpacker should read the Watermans’ “Backwoods Ethics” and “Wilderness Ethics” books.
