Colorado Mountain Club

Publication Year: 1968.

Colorado Mountain Club. Club-sponsored outings once again included Colorado and foreign travel. The first outing, in early July, was located in the Wilsons Primitive Area in southwestern Colorado. The seven-week overseas trip provided three weeks of climbing and extensive traveling in Japan. A Junior Group outing covered the major peaks of the Elk Mountains in western Colorado. During this trip the Juniors managed the rescue of a stricken member of another group in the area. Seven mountaineering and climbing schools were operated by various groups of the Club. An extended outing to Canyonlands National Park, Utah, was sponsored by the Denver group, as was a week-long backpack trip in the Wind Rivers of Wyoming. There were no mountaineering accidents of consequence on any of the hundreds of CMC-sponsored trips.

For the fourth year the Club sponsored the Colorado Open Space Conference, a meeting bringing together all groups in the state concerned with the outdoors. The publication program introduced a revised The Fourteens of Colorado and a 1968 picture calendar based on local scenes.
