| I just don't like the idea of toll roads in general. I think mountains should be remote places and there is no need to develop them like we do everything else. We are taught about Leave No Trace ethics and yet, we build roads and railways up mountains and build summit lodges. That is making a bigger impact on the environment than pretty much anything an individual hiker could do.
Back to the original topic, I have no desire to highpoint so I guess I'm just or a different mindset. If I did highpoint, I think that I would want to reach it by foot, even if it was a puny hill. As Greg has reiterated though - different strokes for different folks.
