Logically, warehouses shouldn’t be desirable as office space. Deep floorplates put people further away from natural daylight. They’re challenging to regulate temperature. Their locations can be remote from transportation. The list goes on. Yet these are precisely the spaces that so many tech companies and creative agencies covet. Why? Authenticity. The weathered bricks, battered timbers, cracked concrete--they are expressive. They give us something to respond to, something with which to make an emotional connection. Warehouses also give big open spaces that allow for shared people spaces to be at the core of the space. The center is a cafe, huddle rooms, soft seating areas and quiet nooks. The space helps reinforce a sense of connection to the people working around them, building a spirit of connection to something more than another day at the office.

  • Mount Bierstadt Trail
    Logo Department Name Agency Organization Organization Address Information United States Forest South Platte Ranger District 19316 Goddard Ranch Court Department of Service Morrison, CO 80465 Agriculture 303-275-5610 FAX: 303-275-5642 Mount Bierstadt Mount Bierstadt, at 14,060 ft, was named for Albert Bierstadt a well-known painter of landscapes of the American west in the latter half of the 1800’s. He named the neighboring 14,000 foot peak for his wife, Rosalie, but it was later renamed Mount Evans in 1870 for Colorado’s second territorial governor, John Evans. A nearby 13,575 foot summit was named Mount Rosalie. Special protection for the Bierstadt area began in January 1956 followed by the creation of the 74,400 acre Mount Evans Wilderness under the Colorado Wilderness Act of December 1980. The Mount Evans Wilderness was established to preserve its quality, character, and integrity. It is intended as a place where the imprint of humans is substantially unnoticed; where natural processes are the primary influences and human activity is limited to primitive recreation and minimum tools. This will allow us, and future generation to experience the Mount Evans Wilderness in its natural condition. Trail From Georgetown, drive 11 miles along South Clear Creek RD to Guanella Pass at 11,669 feet. The peak is in view to the southeast. This trailhead is generally very crowded, so please note there is an upper and lower parking area. Try to avoid parking along the road and watch for pedestrians, domestic and wild animals. From the parking areas hike 1 mile on trail and boardwalk over the willow wetlands towards Scott Gomer Creek.

  • Managing Visitor Use at Mount Bierstadt & Guanella Pass Dear
    Scoping Notice - Managing Visitor Use at Mount Bierstadt & Guanella Pass Dear Interested Party: The Pike and San Isabel National Forests (PSICC), South Platte Ranger District is seeking public input regarding proposed changes to management of recreation activities at Mount Bierstadt and the Guanella Pass summit. The analysis area for this project includes National Forest System lands in the Mount Evans Wilderness and Guanella Pass summit area. The Forest Service is beginning environmental analysis and seeking comments related to the potential implementation of a limited entry permit system at Mount Bierstadt and parking restrictions at the Guanella Pass summit. Background Mount Bierstadt is accessed from the Guanella Pass road which connects the towns of Georgetown and Grant, CO. The trailhead is approximately50 miles west of the Denver metro area and is easily accessed by paved roads.Mount Bierstadt is a 14,060’ peaklocated in the Mount Evans Wilderness area. With the Guanella Pass trailhead situated at an elevation of 11,669’, and a round trip length to the summit and back of 7 miles, it is a moderately difficult hike yetone of the easier fourteen thousand foot peaks for hiking in the State.The very high levels of use at Mount Bierstadt due to easy access and the popularity of hiking to the summit are resulting in negative impacts to resources and visitor experiences. Designated by Congress in 1980, the Mount Evans Wilderness area is 74,400 acres in size. The wilderness is situated on two National Forests (Arapaho and Pike) and is located approximately 40 miles west of Denver. The Mount Evans Scenic Byway, two popular 14,000’ peaks, and its close proximity to a metro area contribute to heavy use of this wilderness.

  • 2017 Annual Report
    COLORADO FOURTEENERS INITIATIVE ANNUAL REPORT PROTECT RESTORE EDUCATE WELCOME LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR COVER: As dangerous as it is beautiful.

WELCOME LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much” --Helen Keller Collaboration has been a hallmark of Colorado Fourteeners Initiative’s 14er stewardship work dating back to our inception in 1994 as “a partnership for preservation.” With a very short alpine field season and more than 50 peaks spread across the state, CFI has always relied on partnerships with other groups to bring out as many people as possible and make the greatest impact. From youth corps crews to volunteer stewardship organizations, businesses to individual enthusiasts across the country, CFI has worked with just about any willing partner to protect the 14ers. In 2017, however, CFI’s focus on collaboration expanded significantly thanks to the first year of the National Forest Foundation’s “Find Your Fourteener” campaign. The first season of this multi-year effort injected additional funding, fostered creative new approaches to getting work done and generated considerable enthusiasm that allowed Colorado Fourteeners Initiative to significantly boost project work on several 14ers. Collaboration on Mount Elbert saw CFI fielding two separate leadership teams on the mountain (one working at timberline, one near the trailhead), two separate Rocky Mountain Youth Corps crews, a youth corps “Peak Apprentice” position helping coordinate crews and volunteer projects, a prison work crew cutting and delivering logs, and multiple collaborative projects with statewide and local trail stewardship organizations.

  • 2019 Hiking Use Estimates Press
    August 27, 2020 Contact: Brian Sargeant, Development and Communications Manager Office: (303) 278-7650 Mobile: (303) 720-9868 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Email: [email protected] AN ESTIMATED 288,000 PEOPLE HIKED COLORADO’S 14ERS IN 2019 MASSIVE SPRING SNOWPACK CUTS HIKING USE BY 18.4% (Golden, Colo.) The number of people climbing a 14,000-foot peak in Colorado last year plunged by 18.4 percent due to the record snowpack in the spring of 2019, according to the most recent hiking use report released today by the Colorado Fourteeners Initiative (CFI). Lingering snowpack and avalanche debris-choked roads resulted in 65,000 fewer hiker days on Colorado’s 14ers last year as compared to the 2018 season (288,000 vs. 353,000). Reduced hiking use also lowered the estimated statewide economic impact of hiking 14ers from $95.7 million in 2018 to $78 million in 2019 based on past 14er hiking use expenditure studies. “Last year many 14er trails did not clear until mid-July due to the massive spring snowpack and avalanche debris that blocked many trailhead access roads—especially in the hard-hit San Juan Mountains,” said Lloyd F. Athearn, executive director of CFI. “That start is more than a month later than normal. The drop in hiking use between 2018 and 2019 was even more dramatic when you consider that 2018 was a drought year in which some trails were snow-free in May, allowing 14er hikers to get out earlier than normal.” Year-on-year comparisons between 2019 and 2018 showed June hiking levels down by 55 percent and July by 20 percent.
