Colorado’s tallest peaks got hammered even more than usual by hikers and climbers last summer due to the rush to get outdoors during the pandemic.
A Golden-based nonprofit dedicated to the welfare of the big peaks is gearing up to provide some timely trail maintenance this summer. Colorado Fourteeners Initiative scaled back from big group projects last year to adhere to distancing requirements. But hikers didn’t take a break.
The group’s preliminary data indicates there was an average increase of 20% in hiking use last summer on the 54 peaks higher than 14,000 feet, said Brian Sargeant, Fourteeners Initiative development and communications manager. Hiker days soared as much as 70% on some of the more popular and accessible peaks, he said.
