If you're looking for a little, ahem, higher education about summiting Colorado's fourteeners this summer, join one of our classes—hosted by REI in Denver and Colorado Springs in June and July—to learn hiking tips, skills for staying safe in the high country, the importance of Leave No Trace principles, and the ecology of Colorado's alpine ecosystems. Plus, you can learn about stewardship opportunities to give back to the mountains. https://www.rei.com/events/dcfi/discovering-colorados-14ers-with-the-colorado-fourteeners-initiative

You can get in on the conservation action, too! Sign up for one of our volunteer projects before all the spaces have been filled. https://14ers.volunteerhub.com/
