Colorado Fourteeners Initiative

Description

CFI is the country's leading high-altitude trail-building, terrain-restoration, and hiker-education organization. To date CFI has constructed 31 sustainable summit hiking routes on 28 Fourteeners to help mitigate impacts associated with 260,000 annual hiking use days on these peaks. CFI also provides on-mountain hiker education in Leave No Trace practices to Fourteener enthusiasts to limit recreational damage to rare and fragile alpine tundra ecosystems found on the peaks.
