This event is also posted for our Colorado Travel Appreciation Group.

Quick Note: I unfortunately will not be able to attend this event. My daughter was just born and I am still tethers to the house for a bit. HOWEVER - I have worked with REI on these classes before and they do not require an organizer to be present, so I wanted to post it for you all as SPACE IS LIMITED (as of writing, there are 48 spots free).

You need to SIGN UP AT THE LINK AT THE TOP OF THIS DESCRIPTION to attend.

From the vendor:
Participants will delve into the essence of alpine adventure, with a focus on Colorado's famous 14,000 foot peaks. Expert instructors will cover a range of topics including: Gaining practical insights and strategies for planning and executing successful ascents of the 14ers; Staying Safe when high-altitude hiking-- including altitude sickness, weather hazards, and emergency preparedness; Leave No Trace Principles-- the importance of minimizing human impact on the fragile alpine ecosystem through responsible outdoor practices; Alpine Ecology-- Giving attention to the fascinating ecology of Colorado's alpine regions, examining the unique plant and animal life that thrives in these harsh environments; Stewardship Opportunities-- Exploring ways to give back to the mountains and contribute to their preservation through volunteer opportunities and stewardship initiatives. This class is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts of all skill levels, whether you're an experienced peak bagger or a novice hiker preparing for your first 14er summit. We'll share valuable insights and practical guidance for anyone seeking to explore Colorado's high country responsibly and safely.
