Too much poop in the Colorado high country
About this episode
The episode discusses the issue of hikers improperly disposing of waste in the Colorado mountains and the implications of federal budget cuts on land cleanliness.
Today, Sun outdoors reporter Jason Blevins looks into the growing concerns around hikers relieving themselves in the Colorado mountains and how federal cuts to the Forest Service could mean “wag bags” will have an even greater role in keeping the lands clean.
