One word- RESPECT . If we can bring that back to our lives from hiking to biking to pets to everything in our lives we would all be able to enjoy what we like. Wherever you go be respectful of where you are and what you are doing.

Downhill hikers yield to uphill hikers. Hear that, folks who like to run down Barr Trail from the Incline and blast music on their way down?? 😆😆 I doubt many would listen. Maybe it should be planted on a sign at the beginning of the Incline.

I have NEVER seen a biker yield to ANYONE. Not once. And I’ve been hiking since I was a little kid. It’s why I prefer trails that are only for hiking/equestrian use.

Unfortunately those who read this article are not usually the problem. My husband and I generally hike very early so that we are getting done (or close to the end of the trail) to avoid all the loud/noisy hikers and those with little to no trail etiquette.

Hiking here at its very best 😀 Rwenzori mountain in Uganda ❤️

It's sad that we even have to tell adults not to litter, period. Epecially in our beautiful state parks!

Hikers should have to buy a habitat stamp and pay hiking fees just like hunters do to help pay for habitat conservation. Hunters shouldn't be the only people who pay for the use of our forrests.

What part of “leave no trace” (bottles, wrappers, poop, etc) requires explanation? And for those on bicycles, what parts of “hikers have the right of way” and “horses are unpredictable so give them room” are difficult to understand (a huge shoutout to those who announce themselves and the number of bicycles coming but as horses don’t speak english - stop and let them pass). And finally, what part of “leash and control your dog” is not clear? Sigh. Humans are exhausting.

Thank you. Over the years we run into people who have no clue about hiking in the parks and wilderness. Perhaps more etiquette info posted at trailheads would also help. But then, maybe not. 😞

Should charge them a fee like they do hunters and fishermen! Must be nice to use the resources outdoorsman fund for free!

We love Mueller State Park because dogs are not allowed. Too many dog owners seem to think that their pets are so well behaved they don't need to be properly leashed. Mueller did an experiment allowing dogs on some trails and it failed due to inconsiderate owners who left their poop bags on trails, allowed their dogs to chase wildlife and othes.

Just remember, by state statute, if you live in the greater denver metropolitan area, you may only travel 50 miles south of highlands ranch for recreational purposes.

Don't forget to buy your Habitat Stamp.

Shouldn’t it be ‘slower hikers yield to faster hikers’, instead of the other way around? Slower hikers should let faster hikers pass them.

We need more posts like these throughout the summer! With so many new people here in CO now we need to educate the ignorant.

These comments are why we hit the wilderness and leave the state parks to the city folk.

Faster hikers yield to slower ones? How does that work?

If only people stopped moving here....

One item not included in this article is human waste. I have noticed a lot of people think its ok to go to the bathroom and just leave it including toilet paper. www.trailspace.com/articles/backcountry-waste-disposal.html

What about "Keep your music to yourself", headphones are your friend if you must listen to music, others should not have to hear you coming and going when it is nature they really want to hear.

I'm also getting tired of having to move off of trails for horses. And then to top it off they poop all over the trails and the riders don't clean it up. Shouldn't they at least have to clear it off the trail? The Official Grumpy Cat

My 7 year old has spent the past 3 years unknowingly shaming people with loud variations of “Momma I have right of way! Why don’t they know that? Are they dumb or rude?” He also handed people a poop bag from our pack on Mt Sherman.

Seems from reading many of the comments overcrowding and concentrated use of public lands is an increasing problem. And Colorado's population trend is going up, up, & up ... Let's not forget the out of state vacationers too adding to these stresses.

People walk they way they drive now. It's ridiculous. The trails are crowded now and the people who have come here from California don't have etiquette. The Official Grumpy Cat

Thank you for all you do in keeping order in the hectic, crazy world of wildlife and humans! I very much appreciate your hard work that frequently goes unnoticed and unappreciated!

Thanks for protecting our parks, us and the animals.

Much gratitude to all the officers and rangers in the CPW service, but especially to my fellow coworkers at Eldorado Canyon!!!

Thank you for all you do. Stay safe!

Always friendly, courteous, and never showing any quarter to violators. Hunting and fishing is a privilege, thanks for keeping our wildlife safe!

Thank you.

Awesome photo Todd!

CPW are total scumbags. Thad Bingham works for the US Fish and Wildlife Services in Colorado and looted from the public trust by illegally killing, skinning and selling bobcat pelts overseas. This is not his first violation. These are the kind of people making policies and working as wildlife officials both on the federal and state levels. The CPW Commissioners knew about this violation and incident prior to hearing the petition to ban bobcat trapping and hunting, and they completely ignored the problem. Further, they indicated that there were no "illegal" takes of bobcats in the state that they knew of.

Too bad you don't care about bobcats as much as you do park rangers. What's your charter say again? Protect park rangers? No, it's protect wildlife. Do your job, CPW. I hope everyone read the many, many great letters to the editor in today's Denver Post, condemning CPW for their horrible, disgusting stance on bobcat trapping. CPW please read these and then hang your head in shame. www.denverpost.com/2019/05/17/friday-may-17-2019-letters/

Almost always friendly. Sometimes a bit hard-nose. But if you guys weren't, people would destroy our wildplaces.

Beautiful fish. Thank you CPW!

Candice Berner April 16, 1977 ~ March 8 2010 - killed by wolves on the Alaska Peninsula village of Chignik Lake. Candice Berner, an Alaska special education teacher, holds up crab caught on a school district outing. Autopsy results announced Thursday, March 11, 2010, indicate Berner, 32, died March 8, 2010, in an animal attack outside the village of Chignik Lake, Alaska. DNA that was recovered from Berner's clothing matched DNA from wolves later shot in the area. The forensic evidence was consistent with the injuries to Berner and the wolf tracks found around her body. "DNA test results provided by the U.S. Geological Survey lab in Anchorage indicated that two to four wolves were most likely involved ... (The tests) connected one of the wolves killed by (Fish and Game) to the incident," according to a Fish and Game press release. The state agency killed two wolves shortly after the attack on Berner. Trappers under contract with Fish and Game later killed another six wolves within 15 miles of the village. Though it was not known why the wolves attacked Berner, Butler said, the animals clearly treated the dead woman as prey after the attack. www.ktuu.com/news/ktuu-report-wolves-that-killed-chignik-lake-teacher-were-healthy-20111206,0,215...

Great!

Fantastic news. Thanks for doing this!

Beautiful

Thank you!

CPW keep up the great work!

excellent initiative

My son calls them redneck trout lol

Great, but I do question handling the fish with gloves.

Love fish. Then eat them too. :'( Sorry. So nice to watch in the wild. 🐟

Maybe we should focus our monies and strategies on keeping the environment right and theyll come back on their own.

Something just sounds 'fishy' about this statement: re-establish Rio Grand cutthroat trout in the Great Sand Dunes. 😁

Has the same lineage as greenbacks

Please don't handle those pretty fish with gloves. Strips the protective coating off and causes fungal infections.

Where’s the post celebrating CPWs decision to keep bobcat trapping legal? O ya, you probably wouldn’t want to advertise such a heinous thing.

What’s up with the cotton gloves ? Not good

So toss all browns on the bank?
