Last night, we raised a glass (or two 🍺) to the people who make it all possible. 🏔️![]()
More than 80 of our incredible volunteers and supporters gathered at New Terrain Brewing Company in Golden to celebrate an unforgettable year on Colorado's fourteeners. We handed out awards, cheered on raffle winners, and soaked in the good vibes that only come from a room full of people who truly love these mountains.![]()
Thank you to every single one of you who showed up in 2025 — with your hands, your boots, and your hearts — to protect and restore Colorado's high country. You are CFI. 💙![]()
Shout-out to Blair Hamill, who created and donated the award posters. 🙏

🫎 14er Flora & Fauna: Moose Edition![]()
Spotted: a moose hanging out on Mount Bierstadt! These massive mammals were reintroduced to Colorado in the late 1970s, and they've thrived—our state is now home to around 3,000.![]()
While moose might look right at home munching on willow carr, their presence reminds us why thoughtful trail construction and management matter. Our work protects critical habitat corridors and riparian areas where moose (and countless other species) feed and rest.![]()
When you encounter wildlife on your 14er adventure, remember: Give them space, stay on the trail, and let them go about their business. Every sustainable trail we build helps ensure these incredible animals can coexist with the thousands of hikers who visit Colorado's peaks each year.![]()
Fun fact: Bull moose can weigh up to 1,200 pounds and stand over six feet tall at the shoulder. Definitely worth admiring from a safe distance!![]()
