Reply to comment by TheTreesCanSaveUs in Milky Way, Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest in California (1638x2408)(OC) by kenleephotography

“Loved to death” is a very accurate phrase. The last time I photographed there the Milky Way was out. I walked up to find the tree surrounded by 25 photographers. That was a few years ago, probably 2018.

I ran into that too. It was a class. I told the forest service and they said they pulled all special use permits for “night photography classes” for this reason specifically. If you see that you should tell someone. Technically the park is closed after 10pm. But there are so many other locations up there not at Schulman grove waiting to be photographed that don’t close and aren’t crazy impacted.
