Mountain Manners Wildflower & Natural History Hike
Do you love being in the backcountry but don’t know if you’re “doing it right?” Mountain Manners Courses are based in the Leave No TraceTM tenets and give you the low-down on low-environmental impact travel through wild, fragile places. Hikers, bikers, backpackers and car campers - come get smart about bringing the right gear; trail etiquette; choosing the best lunch and camp sites; making a low impact fire; preserving flora and fauna; “toilet” practices; dealing with trash; preserving water quality and more. Reference materials and fun SWAG provided at all classes! This three-quarters day hike allows plenty of time to learn local wildflowers and natural history, and see the gorgeous terrain of the area through a guided hike, while additionally acquiring Mountain Manners and Leave No TraceTM skills. The entire course takes place outdoors! Register through Mountain Manner’s sponsor, the Crested Butte Wildflower Festival, online at www.crestedbuttewildflowerfestival.com.
