  • The Rockies of Colorado
    THE ROCKIES OF COLORADO THE ROCKIES OF COLORADO BY EVELIO ECHEVARRfA C. (Three illustrations: nos. 9- II) OLORADO has always been proud of its mountains and rightly so; it is often referred to in the Union as 'the mountain state', about 6o per cent of its area is mountainous, and contains fifty-four peaks over 14,ooo ft. and some three hundred over 13,000 ft. Further, its mountaineering history has some unique aspects. And yet, Colorado's mountains have been seldom mentioned in mountaineering journals; if in modern times they may have deserved a passing mention it has been because of a new route on Long's Peak. But on the whole, the Rockies of Colorado are almost unrecorded in the mountaineering world abroad. In this paper, an effort has been made to outline briefly the characteris­ tics of this area, and to review its mountaineering past; a few personal experiences are also added. The mountains of Colorado belong almost completely to the Rocky Mountain range of North America; a few outliers are sometimes mentioned as independent lesser chains, but in features and heights they are unimportant. The Rockies of Colorado are grouped into a number of ranges (see sketch-map), some of which are actually prolongations of others. Some­ what loosely and with some injustice to precise geography, they can be grouped into ten important sections. The state of Colorado is a perfect rectangle in shape; the Rockies enter into its western third from Wyoming, to the north, and split, then, into two parallel chains which unite in the centre of the state.

  • 2017 Annual Report
    COLORADO FOURTEENERS INITIATIVE ANNUAL REPORT PROTECT RESTORE EDUCATE WELCOME LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR COVER: As dangerous as it is beautiful. The north face of Capitol Peak was the location for five climber fatalities in 2017, half of an all-time-record 10 deaths on 14ers. Photo by Cameron Miller Photography. 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.
