Udall to volunteer with Colorado Fourteeners Initiative on Quandary

Daily Staff Writer

Congressman Mark Udall (D-Colo.) will work with the Colorado Fourteeners Initiative (CFI) field staff and volunteers in efforts to protect and preserve Quandary Peak, one of Colorado’s most popular 14,000-foot mountains, on Saturday from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. Udall and volunteers will build erosion control structures and transplant vegetation to restore closed, eroded trails in the Monte Cristo area of Quandary Peak near Breckenridge.By concentrating Quandary Peak’s high level of traffic onto a single, sustainable trail, CFI hopes to repair the damage that has been done to the mountain’s fragile, alpine environment and prevent future impacts.Those interested in joining the group should meet at Quandary Peak Trailhead parking lot on McCullough Gulch Road before 9 a.m.
