Bingo!
You go backpacking/hiking to get away from loud mouthed city jerks! 90 city jerks on one trail? Really? IDIOTS!
There were cops with guns. It’s amazing that any black people survived.
Yield to the horses. Get off thr trail until they pass on by. Common sense and common courtesy. I get off the trails for bicyclists. too. Even though I have the right of way on Colorado trails, it is just as easy to let them by so they do not have to dismount.
Boo bloody hoo
Stinks of a setup and the whole story not being told.
Inventa-conflict mob
I wonder when NPR will feature a story on how “unwelcome” whites are in black neighborhoods...

“Free from carrying the nations racial baggage’’? Bitch, just DROP IT! Damn it to hell I’m so sick of this crap! Racism with idiots like this is an indulgence. It’s all about “I want to be a victim of racism! I’m a victim!’’. This crap is never going to end.
80+ people on a nature walk is a lot of people. Even a group of ten to twenty would be a large group hiking together. I’m curious if there are any permitting requirements for group walks? It would allow the rangers to know who is in the park and answer any inquiries as to who the group is, as well as limit the size of the group, in order to retain the natural environment. Permitting would also limit group size and address park rules with the organizer of the event. It’s wonderful so many people want to engage with nature by hiking, yet trails can be damaged by overused, which can also make the trails unsafe with loose rocks and bare roots to trip on. Also,I can’t remember if the article said this was her business, if so definitely permitting should be necessary because of liability in case of injury to her participants.
Yep..I knew it.
Jefferson County rules include:
C.24. Passing On Trails: C.24.a. It shall be unlawful to fail to yield on Open Space trails.
Yielding Order: When passing from any direction on Open Space trails, all visitors must give the right-of-way to equestrians; bicyclists and other wheeled visitors (except wheelchair visitors) must also give the right-of-way to pedestrians. Fine: $50.00
C.24.b. It shall be unlawful to fail to pass safely on Open Space trails. At no less than fifteen (15) feet of approach from any direction, slow to a walking speed, communicate and gain the attention of other visitors.
Pass safely, in single file and when oncoming traffic is clear. Stop when necessary to allow safe passage. Fine: $50.00

NPR article had link at very bottom of page to hiking site Beaver Ranch Park (no sniggering please) which had link to JeffCo park rules.
Apparently the organizer never bothered to inform herself of basic rules of conduct in public parks. Must have been afraid of cursive fonts.
Deputies should be reprimanded for failing to gain lawful revenue from fines....80 x $50 = $4000 ....just sayin’
The bell curve in action.
