Loveland resident Lloyd Drew hikes towards the Devil's Backbone trail head in Loveland March 16. Drew moved from Indiana to Colorado four years ago and his favorite trail is Bobcat Ridge, Devil's Backbone being his second favorite. "I think a lot more people are hiking at Devil's Backbone today than usual, but I think it is partly because schools are closed because of spring break and the virus," said Drew. "I think hiking is a good thing for children to do now to help prevent spread of the virus because they are outdoors instead of indoors with a group of people." (Anna von Pechmann | The Collegian)
