HOW IT GOT STARTED

Our Journey to become 46ers

We're what you call "planners", especially when it comes to the difficult challenge of becoming a 46er. There are great blogs and forums out there that help with this task and my goal is for this to be an additional resource along with being able to share our experience. Hope you enjoy and feel free to share your experiences with us! PS this is the view from Armstrong Peak looking towards Gothics.

Before going someplace new, please always look up current regional rules.
Be prepared for inclement weather or emergencies.
Travel in small groups to reduce impact.

2. STAY ON THE TRAIL

Walk through the mud, not around it.
Don’t step on the vegetation.
Stay on rock as much as possible
Camp only in designated areas. Camping above a certain altitude is forbidden.

Bring your trash home with you.
Carry in, carry out.
Use existing bathrooms, if necessary dig an appropriate cathole.
Use biodegradable soaps.
