The Mirror Lake Highway sees more than two million visitors annually, offering the promise of an escape into nature for sight-seers, hikers and campers alike.
But at one of its most popular trailheads and parking areas, solitude can seem hard to find, with parked cars overflowing sometimes a mile or more and improvised parking spots heading into the underbrush.
U.S. Forest Service officials recently announced plans to revamp the Crystal Lake trailhead, more than doubling the size of the parking lot, providing a designated area for search and rescue personnel and improving miles of nearby trails.
