High Altitude Adventurers: Where did we get these rockin’ shirts?

By becoming a Colorado 14er Peak Steward you can have a shirt too. Did you know that Colorado has Peak Stewards? Well only about 34 people volunteer with Colorado 14ers Initiative (ONLY 34 PEOPLE!) to walk on the trails and peaks of our beautiful 14000 foot peaks. They help educate and protect these amazing natural outdoor areas.

The Colorado 14ers Initiative was established in partnership with the USDA Forest Service in 1994 along with five founding organizations: Colorado Mountain Club, Outward Bound West, Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado, Rocky Mountain Field Institute, and Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics.

The volunteers mentor travelers and regular hikers as well as take physical count of the activity and attendance on the trails. It’s important to know that with only 3 months a year to gather food for the winter, it is vital to the wildlife and their environment that they stay protected from unleashed pets and uninformed visitors. Daniel and Darren to the rescue!

And always make sure you take Altigen when ascending your next mountain!

YAO Company becomes Peak Steward for Colorado’s Fourteeners

Daniel Hudson, founder of YAO Company and developer of Altigen™, the all-natural high altitude adjustment formula, attended the Peak Steward Training for 2009 on June 13th and 14th in Alma, CO and on Mts. Lincoln, Democrat, and Bross.

“Fourteeners” is the affectionate name given to the Colorado Rockies’ peaks that soar more than 14,000 feet above sea level. These peaks are visited by over 500,000 people seasonally. That’s a lot of traffic!

The Colorado Fourteeners Initiative’s Peak Stewards are volunteers trained to monitor high-use Fourteeners.

Peak Stewards are responsible for documenting human and wildlife encounters, user behaviors, compliance with Forest Service regulations, and trail and resource conditions. They also interact with other climbers and provide educational information about Fourteener-specific Leave No Trace principles for Colorado’s alpine environment.

Peak Stewards commit to volunteering a minimum of four days throughout the summer season.

This two-day training focused on:

This program is offered through the Colorado Fourteeners Initiative: A Partnership for Preservation.
