Read all the way through the article. It is aimed at DENVER residents. Here’s the appropriate sentence (from the article, anyway)— the next-to-last “paragraph”:
You might be thinking, “Well hold on a second, Gov. Jared Polis said hiking was fine!” Unfortunately for Denver residents, the stricter restrictions are what apply, so in this particular case, the city and county order trumps the statewide order. The State’s order (under “Definitions”) reads: 3. Engaging in outdoor activity, such as, by way of example and without limitation, walking, hiking, nordic skiing, snowshoeing, biking or running. For purposes of outdoor activity, State parks will remain open to the public to engage in walking, hiking, biking, running, and similar outdoor activities but all playgrounds, picnic areas, other similar areas conducive to public gathering, and attended areas shall be closed. Additionally, the permitted outdoor activities in this PHO do not include activities that would violate the Social Distancing Requirements If there is another, more authoritative, ruling (than “TheKnow”), I’ll be welcome to hear/read it. In the meantime, I’ll stick with Polis’ order, not Hancock’s. But, the state’s order replaces both Boulder County’s, as well as the Ti-County Health Department’s orders.
