The lake wouldn't recommend you either.

Strongly disagree.

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.

That tree gets loved to death, the plants around it have been trampled to death, by photographers. That tree is already dead but soil erosion happens at a much accelerated pace there. It's going to topple that tree.

Way to take a picture of a different bristlecone! Original! Fantastic. So many great trees outside the one one the discovery trail.
