Personal belief belies the reason for travel, not aesthetics or a desire to see something.
"Pilgrims would not travel but for the object of their destination. The material is at least as important as the immaterial relative to intent. We still see no reason to pander to unwanted pilgrims merely because they think a particular rock or hill is special."
