Colorado’s 14ers are ‘generally accessible’ after record-low snow, allowing for trail work to get underway

Colorado's highest peaks are becoming accessible due to low snow levels. This is happening weeks earlier than usual, following a winter with record-low snowpack. As a result, trail work on the 14ers is getting underway.

The Colorado Fourteeners Initiative is involved in this effort, with Executive Director Lloyd Athearn providing insight into the situation. The nonprofit's trail crews typically play a role in maintaining the trails.

Further details about the trail work and the current state of Colorado's 14ers can be found through the Colorado Fourteeners Initiative or other news outlets, such as the Glenwood Springs Post Independent.
