GLENWOOD SPRINGS — Forest rangers are having to double as trash haulers in western Colorado, thanks to people who’ve left behind garbage, tarps, cooking utensils, propane bottles — even toilet seats.

The U.S. Forest Service said backcountry rangers spent three days recently removing trash from remote areas of the White River and Routt National forests. Eight mules and horses were used to pack out the remnants of two hunting camps.

But rangers said there’s more where that came from. There are several campsites south of Craig with trash and abandoned property.

Rangers also tore down a partial log cabin. From Post and wire reports
