In 1996 staff members at Bridger Wilderness Area collected the following comment cards:

· Trails need to be reconstructed. Please avoid building trails that go uphill.

· Too many bugs and leeches and spiders and spider webs. Please spray the wilderness to rid the areas of these pests.

· Please pave the trails. Chair lifts need to be in some places so that we can get to wonderful views without having to hike to them.

· The coyotes made too much noise last night and kept me awake. Please eradicate these annoying animals.

· There are too many rocks in the mountains.
