"Jefferson Co. police are now stopping people at the nearby staging area from taking water to the hikers, who each carried 50# backbacks 1/2 mile up a steep grade to the site."

Schiavo v. Schiavo clearly granted authorities the right to interfere with those attempting to bring water to the thirsty.
