Volunteer Projects You can make an important contribution to preserving the Fourteeners by joining a CFI volunteer program. Crews work out of backcountry and trailhead basecamps to build trails, reclaim erosion scars, and complete other important fieldwork. In 2001 volunteers will work on Quandary Peak, Mount Bierstadt, Missouri Mountain, the Crestone Peaks, and Grays and Torreys Peaks. CFI provides food, tools, training, and an education program.
Volunteers bring their own camping equipment and work gloves.
CFI crew leaders supervise all program activities. The work is very strenuous and volunteers should be in excellent physical condition. No prior trail construction or restoration experience is required. It is recommended that volunteers have previous backcountry experience. Volunteer crews are limited to 10 persons when working in wilderness areas.
