However, hikers must leave early in the morning to accomplish this feat. Due to the popularity of this trail on weekends, please consider hiking these peaks during the week. Each of the peaks will reward the hiker with spectacular views of both sides of the Continental Divide. An abundance of wildflowers can be seen on this hike from mid-late July.

  • COLORADO CONTINENTAL DIVIDE TRAIL COALITION VISIT COLORADO! Day & Overnight Hikes on the Continental Divide Trail
    CONTINENTAL DIVIDE NATIONAL SCENIC TRAIL DAY & OVERNIGHT HIKES: COLORADO CONTINENTAL DIVIDE TRAIL COALITION VISIT COLORADO! Day & Overnight Hikes on the Continental Divide Trail THE CENTENNIAL STATE The Colorado Rockies are the quintessential CDT experience! The CDT traverses 800 miles of these majestic and challenging peaks dotted with abandoned homesteads and ghost towns, and crosses the ancestral lands of the Ute, Eastern Shoshone, and Cheyenne peoples. The CDT winds through some of Colorado’s most incredible landscapes: the spectacular alpine tundra of the South San Juan, Weminuche, and La Garita Wildernesses where the CDT remains at or above 11,000 feet for nearly 70 miles; remnants of the late 1800’s ghost town of Hancock that served the Alpine Tunnel; the awe-inspiring Collegiate Peaks near Leadville, the highest incorporated city in America; geologic oddities like The Window, Knife Edge, and Devil’s Thumb; the towering 14,270 foot Grays Peak – the highest point on the CDT; Rocky Mountain National Park with its rugged snow-capped skyline; the remote Never Summer Wilderness; and the broad valleys and numerous glacial lakes and cirques of the Mount Zirkel Wilderness. You might also encounter moose, mountain goats, bighorn sheep, marmots, and pika on the CDT in Colorado. In this guide, you’ll find Colorado’s best day and overnight hikes on the CDT, organized south to north. ELEVATION: The average elevation of the CDT in Colorado is 10,978 ft, and all of the hikes listed in this guide begin at elevations above 8,000 ft. Remember to bring plenty of water, sun protection, and extra food, and know that a hike at elevation will likely be more challenging than the same distance hike at sea level.

Unlike any other Fourteener in Colorado, hiking impacts are largely absent - Culebra is essentially "untrailed". In order to preserve its pristine condition, please follow these climbing guidelines: 1. Plan ahead and Prepare. A dehydrated climber scurrying down the mountain to escape a storm is likely to cause unnecessary damage to fragile alpine tundra. 2. Disperse while hiking.

  • Impact Report Photo by Riley De Ryk Letter from the Director
    Rocky Mountain Field Institute 2020 Community Impact report Photo by Riley de Ryk Letter FROM The Director Dear Friends and Supporters of RMFI, It goes without saying that 2020 was a year like no other. Yet, despite all of the challenges we, and the rest of the world, had to overcome, we, above all else, remained grateful. Grateful that we were still able to operate; grateful that we were able to employ nearly 30 people and do so safely; grateful that so many sought and relied on nature for mental, physical, and emotional well-being; and grateful that we accomplished incredibly impactful stewardship projects at a time when our public lands needed them most. We could not have accomplished all that we did without your generosity, support, and steadfast commitment to RMFI. We sincerely appreciate each and every one of you who collectively make the work that we do possible. Thank you. When the pandemic hit in March 2020, we were faced with tremendous uncertainty as to whether we’d even be able to have a field season. But, the more we spoke with our key land management partners, the more it became clear they needed our staff and our expertise out on the ground. We immediately set out to develop COVID-19 operating procedures and guidelines to keep our staff and community safe and then got to work. Slowly, we began introducing volunteer opportunities into our schedule and when it was all said and done, we ended up having the biggest and most impactful season to date. Some important project highlights and accomplishments include finishing a new

  • Crestone Peak … and a Self Rescue!
    Crestone Peak … and a Self Rescue! Exposure: Summit Elev.: 14,294 feet Trailhead Elev.: 9,900 feet Elevation Gain: 5,700 feet starting at upper 4wd trailhead 3850 feet starting at S. Colony Lake camp Roundtrip: 14 miles starting at upper 4wd TH (9,900) 5 miles from S. Colony Lake camp Climbers: Rick Crandall, Rick Peckham 8/15/2015 Crestone Peak, or “The Peak” as known among many climbers, is one of the “double-black diamond” 14ers for climbers. It is located in the Sangre de Cristo range near to the town of Crestone. It and its companion fourteener, Crestone Needle were the last of all the fourteeners to be scaled back in the 1920’s. This remote and rugged mountain was once thought impossible to climb. The name comes from the famous “crete du coq” (cocks comb) on the Italian side of the Matterhorn which was anglicized to Crestone. (From Fourteen Thousand Feet, by John L. Jerome Hart, June, 1925) The easiest route is not the shortest or most direct. 800 feet of elevation must be lost and regained over Broken Hand Pass, which is a 1500’ climb from the South Colony Lake, and then another 2,000 feet must be climbed up the sustained Red Couloir to the summit approach. All climbing is rated at least Class 3. Considerable climbing experience is recommended before attempting this formidable mountain. Crestone Peak – a magnificent mountain. We had plenty of warnings about this mountain, including from Mountain Rescue as you see in the unfolding story. “Crestone Peak is one of the more dangerous fourteener climbs in Colorado; accidents occur often in the Crestones, some caused by falls and others by lightning (a daily summer occurrence in the Sangre de Cristos).” From Summit Post: Adding to the difficulty of the climb is getting there.
