We hiked the new Dias Ridge Trail 
<http://www.ridgetrail.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=71&Itemid=72> 
in Marin County today.

Hikers, bicycles, and horses are all allowed. Four mountain bikers 
passed us, all riding responsibly. The new trail is very nice _except_ 
for all the horse manure everywhere. It's disgusting, and a hassle to 
keep stepping around. In some places it covers the whole width of the 
trail. We then took the Miwok trail and Redwood Creek trails back to 
Muir Beach. They were even worse in terms of horse manure because they 
are narrower.

Why can't equestrians be forced to clean up after themselves? They are 
so inconsiderate of other trail users. Equestrians should buy land to 
create their own trail system separate from self-powered hikers and 
bicyclists that don't leave a huge mess behind.
