I was reluctant for a long time to visit the Three Rivers site because I knew the parking lot, picnic shelters and beaten trails would deprive the experience of the sense of connection to the ancient culture which characterizes the remote wilderness sites I am familiar with.
Luckily, I was at Three Rivers early enough in the day to avoid seeing many other visitors. And, as I proceeded up along the ridge it became easier to ignore the intrusions of civilization and focus on the panorama of snow-topped mountains and broad plains that so inspired the orginal inhabitants.
