I recently had the distinct displeasure to ski at Trail Creek. There were many people skiing, hiking and walking their dogs. However, the amount of dog poop on the trail was repulsive.
Dog owners, how is it you have the energy to hike a half mile or more but suddenly can't find it in you to bend over and clean up after your dog? Sorry, but your dog's poop does stink. Perhaps a local service group might take this on as a worthy project. Station a volunteer or two at the trailhead on the weekends and pass out plastic bags to everyone who has a dog. Perhaps that will shame them in to doing the right thing instead of spoiling it for everyone else.
