Leave No Trace

??♂??? On the trail to cleaner 14ers! Ever wonder what happens to all the stuff left behind on Colorado’s iconic peaks? A recent study highlights the not-so-glamorous side of hiking 14ers—human waste—and why proper disposal is critical to preserving these stunning summits. At Leave No Trace, we care because what we leave behind affects not just the landscape but also the experience for every adventurer who follows. Let’s keep the peaks pristine and the trails inviting by following simple principles like packing out waste or using designated facilities. ???

?? Why Join Leave No Trace? ?? The U.S. Forest Service has cut 2,400 seasonal jobs, meaning fewer people to care for the trails, parks, and forests we all love. Now, it’s up to us—the outdoor community—to protect these public lands for future generations. By becoming a member of Leave No Trace, you’re directly funding programs that educate and empower individuals to reduce their impact and keep these spaces pristine. From teaching responsible recreation to organizing stewardship efforts, we’re stepping up where resources fall short. Your membership matters more than ever. Let’s work together to keep our parks and forests thriving. ?? ?? Join us today: https://zurl.co/cpsq #LeaveNoTrace #ProtectPublicLands #StewardshipMatters
