| New Member Trips • An introductory hike for new and prospective members about how the trip sign-up, carpool, and TH process works. Learn about hiker classifications and CMC schools, meet other new members, and ask questions. | About three trips offered per month, year-round on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. | Michael McMahon Robbie Monsma Contact: cmcdgdmic@gmail.com |
| Ascending Hikes • Program geared towards members seeking to increase their fitness and hiking difficulty with the goal of reaching the summit of a Colorado 14er by season-end. | The 2020 Ascending Hikes series was cancelled due to Covid-19. 2021 will post in the Spring. Watch Mile High Mountaineer. | Robbie Monsma Kirk Dielman Contact: kirkdiel@gmail.com |
| Beginner Snowshoes Clinics • Designed to teach members how to snowshoe: equipment, preparation, and techniques. No classroom time. Takes place on an actual snowshoe practice trip. • Afterwards, member should be comfortable signing up for any easy to moderate snowshoe trip on the calendar. | 2021 Snowshoes Clinics will occur only if the Covid Pandemic allows. Three weekends a month, January through March. | Michael McMahon Robbie Monsma Contact: cmcdgdmic@gmail.com |
| Specialty Hikes • Specialty hikes explore one or more aspects of Colorado’s rich human and natural history as well as offer opportunities to learn and practice hiking skills in a non-classroom setting. You don’t have to be an expert on the subject or coordinate with DMIC. • The hikes are offered by CMC trip leaders on a somewhat regular basis, based upon their own personal interests. Members should search the calendar frequently for the specific topic word. | Trip Leaders: Birding, Wildflowers, History, Geology, Natural History, Archeology, Map and Compass Practice, GPS Practice and more have been offered with success. Activate the trip, put your ‘theme’ in the first line of the trip title, and ask fellow members to bring their equipment or guides. That way you can attract members who will enjoy the special subject with you! | For ideas and feedback, contact Mike Tischer: mtischer@gmail.com The plan is to integrate this project into the new CMC website, planned for late 2021, early 2022. |
| Track File Manager • This volunteer service stores member-donated GPS track files for use by Club leaders and members. Members are encouraged to donate their tracks and to download tracks for their personal and Club use. | This project collects GPS track files year-round, from all area groups all over Colorado and beyond, especially Utah. To gain access, write to: cmctracks@gmail.com | Jeff Stevens Contact: cmctracks@gmail.com The plan is to integrate this project into the new CMC website, planned for late 2021, early 2022. |
| CMC Acronyms • A long, linked list of all the various acronyms Club veterans use: WTS, WFA, ACS, etc. To some members, especially new ones, these tend to be bewildering and even off-putting. | We update this from time-to-time to keep up with State and Denver Group changes.
