Peak Steward Training is this Saturday and Sunday (June 13th and 14th) in Alma, Colorado and on Mts. Lincoln, Democrat, and Bross. CFI will be training 30+ individuals to become Peak Stewards. Once trained, they will educate and monitor individuals who explore Colorado's 14,000 ft. peaks. An estimated 750,000 individuals will be climbing these 54 popular peaks throughout the next 4 months. Most of the traffic will be isolated to 10 (or so) of the most popular peaks.
Peak Stewards, along with the information provided at each trailhead, are the only means of education that the Forest Service or CFI can provide on specific issues concerning the 14,000 ft peaks of Colorado. Their presence is crucial to the preservation of these peaks. This training is double the size of any other historic Peak Steward Training. If all of this years Peak Stewards stay committed to their requested 4 days of volunteering, we will almost triple the number of Peak Steward days from last year or any previous year.
