That could well happen. The Whistlers Campground has been closed for the last few years for renovations so monster-size RV's can now fit in without knocking down the trees (the trees were bulldozed). Prior to the renovations there was no place for motorists to park and sneak into the hiker-biker camping area pretending to be hikers. Now there is a brand-new parking lot right across the street from the hiker-biker area and it will be difficult to police the conniving, sneaky motorists from the new administration building.
Cycletourists should form an unruly weed-smoking, beer-swilling mob and camp on the lawn of the Jasper Park administration building to protest the bad treatment of cycletourists by Parks Canada.
Potential site of angry mob.
