PSA: The Highline Trail in Glacier got way more crowded after a big magazine feature

I hiked it in 2019 and maybe saw 20 people all day. Went back last August and it felt like a line at times, with over a hundred folks on the main stretch near Granite Park Chalet. It's clear the 'best hike in America' article from that outdoor magazine a couple years back really drove traffic. Has anyone else seen a favorite quiet route get popular fast?

I just go earlier in the season now. Beat the crowds and the heat.

Consider how @kelly.keith's plan misses the magic of those late-season, quiet, cool mornings.
