About Us: This Toolkit was created by Grassroots 14er Public Access, a group of hikers, climbers, and other outdoor enthusiasts working together to support, restore, and protect access to all fifty-eight of Colorado’s 14,000 foot peaks by supporting SB 103 or similar legislation to strengthen landowner liability protections if they allow free public access.
