STEAMBOAT SPRINGS The fourth annual Women’s March in Steamboat Springs felt a bit different Saturday for many of its participants.
The COVID-19 pandemic inspired the march’s organizers to hold a drive-by parade around the city rather than the usual walk down Lincoln Avenue, and the heavy snowfall provided a challenge to vehicles driving around unplowed roads and steep hills.
For the most part, many participants said, the march felt like more of a celebration than a protest, which was the national event’s original purpose after President Donald Trump was elected in 2016 and stirred concerns among individuals due to his behavior toward women.
