Description: Do you remember dancing to Ice, Ice Baby at the freshman formal? If so, get together with new friends for VOC's first Stewardship Adventure specifically for hipster volunteers 35 years old and younger!
Colorado's 14,000 foot peaks provide challenge and adventure to thousands of hardy hikers. Mounts Democrat, Lincoln and Bross are no exception. These peaks are under two hours from Denver and accessible from 12,000 foot Kite Lake. Adding to their woes, several trails on these peaks have been closed due to widespread safety concerns, mining hazards and liability issues. This has led to even more strain on fragile alpine environs which can take years to heal from a carelessly placed boot.
VOC will work with the high altitude experts, the Colorado 14ers Initiative to stabilize, reconstruct, and reroute a trail on Mount Democrat in an effort to reopen public access to these popular peaks. Bring your friends, camp at 12,000 feet, make a difference, stand on a summit. Be a part of something new, be a part of a Stewardship Adventure on a Colorado 14er!
