5:43 am
your goal, but what you get out of it and the human we're seeing this more and more. it's like most people go to hard to like they're always pushing themselves to the limit. and that's really a shame because then you don't take it, what's all around you and then pick you need a little something and reserve for that. are the possible for this effort and taking the time to veer off the beaten path, add to the pleasure of any time. all right, before we continue our hike, let's take a quick look at the impact mass tourism has on some of the most popular regions here in the ups in a skip pulled to vomit. unsatisfactory movies. would you say? okay, this can quarantine from this to which traffic it puts a strain on the pot seeking. it's really hard. the hiking trails up above lasted the large crowds put a burden on the local population and the communities and the infrastructure. the

5:46 am
a spot like this becomes the greater the threat to its nature once not to the sources as the trend towards sharing individual experiences with a large already lives. i think on the social media platforms like instead from intern, give us a sodomy, then give us the great information about an incredible son, ryan, over event what he got people, he's to more people come and tell you spots even in typically, often times just son dot so dot, these, it pump, they're done feedstock taking notes from from and i truly gives me cause for concern. the thought sickly saga may be one way to help is to avoid those popular spots altogether. ah ah, we're getting close to the top on the side of the trail, stefan points out some yellow gentian to me. it's
