Everyone should also know that there is a DEI-focused Hoofer group called Hoofer Ambassadors: https://www.hoofers.org/about-hoofer-ambassadors 

Personally, I consider it my responsibility as a trip leader to seek out ways to make my trips more inclusive, and I hope that everyone else, trip leader or participant, does so as well.
