About us
While some events are listed here on Meetup, most of our 300+ trips per year can only be found on our Trip Calendar.
The Colorado Mountain Club (a 501(c)(3) nonprofit) is the Rocky Mountain community for mountaincraft education, adventure, and conservation. We exist to bring people together and share our love of the mountains—and community. From the uninitiated to the expert, there is a place for everyone here.
The Boulder Group of the CMC seeks to foster community, connect with the outdoors and give back to nature.
Situated in close proximity to Boulder Open Space & Mountain Parks, including Chautauqua and the iconic Flatirons, Brainard Lake Recreation Area, Indian Peaks Wilderness, Arapahoe and Roosevelt National Forests and Rocky Mountain National Park, the Boulder Group offers volunteer-led trips, classes, social events and conservation activities from sunrise to moonlight with mindful pauses in between.
The Boulder Group also maintains & operates two backcountry cabins, in accordance with the terms of a Special Use Permit issued by the US Forest Service. More information and cabin reservations are available here.
To find out more about the CMC Boulder Group, be sure to visit our website.
There are no strangers in the mountains, only friends you haven't met! To join the CMC, go to the state website at http://www.cmc.org and click on "Join".

He will give a presentation to us on this incident. Boulder Bookstore will also be there with copies of the book for sale. Winners of the "Best Landscape" and "Best People" pictures will be announced at the dinner, with a gift for the photographers. Reach out to anyone on the Boulder Council for more information.
