FILE - In this June 26, 2017, file photo, Emirates Team New Zealand helmsman Peter Burling, left, and teammate Blair Tuke cross the boat during the ninth race in America's Cup sailing competition against Oracle Team USA in Hamilton, Bermuda. As they hit what could be the prime of their careers, Burling, 30, and Tuke, 31, are thinking about more than just their next victory. Sure, they're focusing in on trying to win another gold medal in the high-performance 49er skiff in the Tokyo Olympics starting later this month. They also realize that as the victories pile up, they're in a unique position to speak out about protecting the planet's oceans. (AP Photo/Gregory Bull, File)

A free reservation system went online recently to control growing number 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.
