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. In order to protect sensitive alpine plant communities, avoid hiking single file,, or along existing trampled routes. 3. Ascend ,nd descend on a different route in order to minimize impacts to the mountain. 4. W}Jile"-hik,ing, try to step only on durable surfaces, such as rocks, in order to protect sensitive alpine plant communities. Don't walk along the edge of melting snowfields or other areas where the sqils are wet. Many alpine soils are over 5,000 years old, and alpine plants grow very slowly in the<harsh climate and short growing season on F ourteeners. 5. Refrain from feeding animals or picking wildflowers. Leave what you find. 6. Bury all human waste below treeline, not in the tundra. Human waste above treeline requires hundreds of years to decompose. Pack out all the waste you carry in.
