There seems to be an easy solution: almost everyone drives up a single road to a single parking lot, then hikes a single trail. Put up a sign at the parking lot, and no one has plausible deniability. If you expect everyone to obsessively check a semi-popular website, or study maps to find inholdings and suss out their owners' current whims, expect to be disappointed.
Yes. This. I don’t think they care if you hike it. They said it was supposed to be closed a month. It was, now it’s open. Go hike it if you want. From what I understand, only last 100 or so feet of each summit is privately owned. So, unless some cop wants to hang out at 14,000 feet and give out tickets, I think you are good to go.
If you are afraid of the owners, don’t go.

If you are hiking them, you are going to ruin it for the rest of us!
While I would normally agree with this sentiment, if they are not signing the area properly and prominently, I can't really fault people for not knowing any better at this point...
Tell that to the game warden when he fines you, takes your gun, and you're hunting privileges because you were unknowingly hunting on private property. I'm just hearing too many people say "but every one else is doing it". I'm sure more know than don't, but they are playing the "I didn't see any signs" card. I just want to take my daughter there this summer, and it may not happen if people really don't care what the authorities say.

Gapers goin gape!! Get that Decalibron and a summit white claw too
D Bags are d bags. Get it if you want it. Don’t be scared.
To be clear, I am not suggesting that folks trespass on these peaks while the summits are closed. I’m also not interested in them enough to visit during the closure.
