The trail is 6 feet wide in much of this loop, so if one is encountering someone going the other way, it is barely possible to maintain a safe social distance of 6 feet. These students and teachers are totally disregarding this guideline. They are literally walking as a horde, and take over the entire trail, sometimes leaving a foot or so for oncoming hikers, sometimes less. About half of the students are wearing masks, the rest are carrying them.
Someone once said, “If the learner hasn’t learned, the teacher hasn’t taught.” 9-R should be teaching good hygiene right now and it is failing.
