Unleashed dog and stepping off-trail on Bierstadt
USFS only allows dogs on leash on Bierstadt. I love furry friends, and I don’t care much if an unleashed dog well behaves. But this baseball cap guy’s dog is too friendly that it follows other people on trails. I asked him to put dogs on leash but he just laughed it off. And he stepped on plants with his shinny crocs. Wow thank god he was not bringing Bluetooth speakers.
I know Bierstadt can be a sh*tshow, honestly it’s better than expected. Most people are courteous, and view was good. If desired, harder routes can be linked to Mt Blue Sky. I think it’s a good warmup for harder 14ers
