In addition to minor trail work on various peaks, the Colorado Fourteeners Initiative (CFI) has three major construction/restoration projects planned for 2011. To better inform the public of these planned projects, here's some information and photos related to each:
North Maroon Peak
Maroon Peak
Mt. of the Holy Cross (link coming soon)
I'm really excited to see work being planned for the Bells!

Re: 2011 CFI Projects
That climber trail up North Maroon to the rock glacier is a disaster. It will be great to see that fixed. I didn't think Maroon Peak was nearly as bad but still a good idea to get it in better shape.

Re: 2011 CFI Projects
God, I hope they do something to fix the Maroon Peak trail. Hiking up that isn't terrible (other than getting slightly off-route at times), but coming down it is a b!tch and a half.
Most things worth doing are difficult, dangerous, expensive, or all three.
