Jane works with a committee of four to Social Activities plan and carry out a variety of activities, which are open to all members. Several of them—the summer Coordinator forpicnic, 2015 annual meeting, and holiday party especially—require a considerable amount of thought and organization.

Jane would like to pass the baton to another member then and is willing to assist her or him in learning this essential volunteer position. Please consider talking to or emailing Jane, [email protected] or her committee members---Diana Bliss, Joy Cron, Ida Sansoucy and Carol Shansby---about what the job entails.

  • Spanish Peaks Wilderness
    Mt. Bierstadt Field Trip Trip date: 6/17/2006 Ralph Swain, USFS R2 Wilderness Program Manager Observations: 1). The parking lot was nearly full (approximately 35 + vehicles) at 8:00 am on a Saturday morning. I observed better-than-average compliance with the dog on leash regulation. Perhaps this was due to my Forest Service truck being at the entrance to the parking lot and the two green Forest Service trucks (Dan and Tom) in the lot! 2). District Ranger Dan Lovato informed us of the District’s intent to only allow 40 vehicles in the lower parking lot. Additional vehicles will have to drive to the upper parking lot. This was new information for me and I’m currently checking in with Steve Priest of the South Platte Ranger District to learn more about the parking situation at Mt. Bierstadt. 3). I observed users of all types and abilities hiking the 14er. Some runners, 14 parties with dogs (of which 10 were in compliance with the dog-leash regulation), and a new- born baby being carried to the top by mom and dad (that’s a first for me)! Management Issues: 1). Capacity issue: I counted 107 people on the hike, including our group of 14 people. The main issue for Mt. Bierstadt, being a 14er hike in a congressionally designated wilderness, is a social issue of how many people are appropriate? Thinking back to Dr. Cordell’s opening Forum discuss on demographic trends and the growth coming to the west, including front-range Denver, the use on Mt.

  • Classic Colorado Backpacking Loops
    Classic Colorado Backpacking Loops Colorado is a mecca for backpacking with the most fourteeners of any state, multiple national parks to trek across, and a vast trail system interwoven through the Colorado Rocky Mountains. While out and back trips can be rewarding, backpacking loops give hikers a chance to continually explore new territory. These four classic Colorado backpacking trips are the perfect weekend getaways that can be done in 2-4 days. 1. Elk Creek to Needleton Loop This is an iconic 36-mile trip in the Weminuche Wilderness in Western Colorado that starts & ends with an epic train ride. You start by boarding the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad and enjoy the scenery as it meanders through the San Juan National Forest. After about 1 to 3 hours depending if you start in Durango or Silverton, the train will come to a stop in the vast wilderness where you will hop off, grab your pack, and then wave to the train as it chugs away leaving you surrounded by mountain peaks. The first day of hiking is mostly uphill following Elk Creek through the wooded forest. On day two you will push past tree-line to reach the Continental Divide with unobstructed views of the surrounding peaks. Lightening and storms are frequent in this area, so don’t stay too long at the top. The next several miles of hiking will be a lot of ups & downs as you traverse the backside of the mountains as you gear up to reach Vallecito Creek Bridge which has ample campsites and has good fishing.

In the fall of 2013, I was awarded a fellowship by The Pinchot Institute for Conservation and the Grey Towers National Historic Site.
