To provide, improve, and maintain, through voluntary public involvement and in cooperation with the USDA Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management, a linear, non-motorized, sustainable, scenic, recreation trail corridor between Denver and Durango, Colorado for hikers, mountain bikers, and horse riders: The Colorado Trail. Significant activities include trail construction, improvement and maintenance, guided treks on the Colorado Trail, and outreach and education of trail users and the general public about the trail and the Foundation that cares for it.
Trail operations: Improve and maintain the Colorado Trail. Six week-long, six 4 to 6 day, two weekend, and 1 one day volunteer trail crews consisting of 275 crew volunteers and 312 trail adopters and helpers performed trail maintenance. This included constructing new trail extending an off-road reroute, building or refurbishing hundreds of water diversions, and refurbishing many miles of trail to limit erosion and enhance sustainability. They rebuilt approaches and decking to bridges, removed rocks impeding the trail, improved equestrian creek crossings, removed trees and overgrowth, and cleared extensive avalanche debris. Trail adopters and volunteers repaired, replaced, and installed directional signage and confidence markers. In all, 587 volunteers gave over 12,000 hours to improve and maintain the 567-mile length of the Colorado Trail, and worked with the US Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and other partner organizations to protect the trail for Colorado Trail users.
Outreach and trail user education and assistance: Educated and aided hundreds of Colorado Trail users by responding to telephone and email requests for information. Distributed Treadlines newsletters to over 16,000 households, and distributed brochures to visitors centers, chambers of commerce, forest service offices, and sporting goods stores. Improved the CTF website, Facebook page and other materials to support trail crew and adopter activities, and educate trail users about the trail and Leave No Trace ethics. Placed displays in public libraries, provided speakers and video information on the subject of the Colorado Trail, the Colorado Trail Foundation, trail crew and educational opportunities.
