A parking reservation sign alerts visitors at the entrance to the Adirondack Mountain Reserve trailhead, Saturday, May 15, 2021, in St. Huberts, N.Y. A free reservation system went online recently to control growing numbers of visitors packing the parking lot and tramping on the trails through the private land of the Adirondack Mountain Reserve. The increasingly common requirements, in effect from Maui to Maine, offer a trade-off to visitors, sacrificing spontaneity and ease of access for benefits like guaranteed parking spots and more elbow room in the woods.
