Protect. Restore. Educate.
Since 1994, Colorado Fourteeners Initiative has been working hear to preserve and protect the natural integrity of Colorado's 14,000-foot peaks--the 14ers--through active stewardship and public education. This YouTube channel is one of the ways we educate Colorado 14er hikers about the unique and fragile alpine ecosystems found on these "approachable Everests", how to recreate responsibly on them, and how to increase hiker safety while doing so. Whether it's learning about unique alpine botany and wildlife, how to read the quirky weather on Colorado's high peaks, or what gear you need to provide the greatest margin of safety, you can find it here.
