Since when is equal access a bad thing?
Regarding “Wilderness Express” [Oct. 11]: As a proponent of wilderness conservation and the wife of a disabled spouse, I have a dual perspective on the proposed people mover from the top of the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway to Long Valley on Mt. San Jacinto. Yes, easy access to wilderness does degrade it, but Long Valley is already accessible to those who can walk. Admitting the disabled will not harm anything or anyone.

As one of those overweight San Jacinto Mountain visitors with aging knees and backs, I can’t wait for the people mover to become real. The 400-yard-long, concrete ramp it would replace is obscenely tedious.
