Are the hikers considered intrusive, or just the drones?

You'll hear plenty of hikers complain about hikers if they are also creating unwanted noise (usually from portable bluetooth speaker).

Even sometimes it's annoying to be near hikers who just speak loudly. Sometimes you just want to be in the nature and enjoy it quietly :-).

Some places you have to apply for a permit (few of which are issued) to make sure there aren't too many hikers at once. So I think it's both.
