My hypothesis was that a lot of folks (myself included) have started going hiking/etc on Black Friday instead of participating in the commercial aspects of the day? Anyways, I upvoted. Our parks/wilderness are one of the really great things about America.

I really respect REI for closing their doors on Black Friday. https://www.rei.com/opt-outside

Outside of southern states, a lot of us are well past the hiking/camping season this time of year, except for folks well experienced and equipped for winter recreation or just heading to local city parks.

If you're day hiking (and not camping or backpacking), this time of year is still great for hiking even in the northern states. Most people I know that go hiking in the local parks won't stop doing that until a few weeks from now.

Further, it's the start of hunting season in a lot of places, which means lots of people are out hiking and camping to hunt.

Ironically, there are probably just as many regular hikers that stay in because of hunting season also. Or find trails on non-hunting lands during this time of year.

That is a fantastic idea.
