The Colorado Mountain Club

The Colorado Mountain Club is the state’s leading organization dedicated to adventure, recreation, conservation and education. Founded in 1912, the CMC acts as a gateway to the mountains for novices and experts alike, offering an array of year-round activities, events and schools centered on the outdoors. To ensure the continued enjoyment of Colorado’s pristine places, the CMC also leads efforts to protect wild and public lands with its conservation and stewardship programs. CMC’s award-winning Youth Education Program “brings the mountains” to nearly 7,000 young people each year in the classroom and on the trail. No other organization in the Intermountain West employs such a broad approach to connecting people with the Rocky Mountain landscape.
