So who can’t use the trail and what was he protesting for?

The disabled (many of them veterans) and the elderly can no longer access these areas they have been hunting in and enjoying for decades. What was he protesting? An out of control government.

There are lots of huge parcels of federal land in the Rocky Mountain criss-crossed by old logging and mining roads and trails.

For many years these trails were open to motorized vehicles, such as ATVs, snowmobiles and sometimes full-sized vehicles.

Over the past couple decades more and more of these trails are being closed to anything with a motor. If you can ride a bike or own a horse, good for you. Otherwise you hike, which some people can’t and which others just don’t care for.

I don’t much care for ATVs or road hunters in the hills either. But the fact is more and more of our “public lands” are accessible only by a smaller and smaller public.
