Outings/activities
Sunday Feb 19 QUC snowshoe hike meeting at 10 a.m.
      Join the QUC for a moderate to advanced ability snowshoe hike. We will meet at 10 am at a TBA location.  This will be a fun and educational loop hike where we anticipate covering about 5 miles with over 1200' of climbing to visit a high country lake at higher elevations, if conditions allow.   This is not a hike for beginner or unconditioned hikers.
     If you have some experience hiking you will enjoy this outing.  If you need snowshoes, we can loan you a pair.

     All of these outings are open to everyone and offered free of charge.
     We ask that you reserve a spot on these as we do try to limit numbers to preserve the experience and limit our impact.   The time listed is the meeting time, usually in or near a town, and we frequently car pool to the trail head a short distance away.
     We try to rank outings according to abilty level (easy, moderate, advanced) to give you some idea of what to expect.  We generally tailor the hikes to the ability level of the group that shows up. Easy is outdoor activity easy:  not easy like sitting in a chair at home. Group outings often involve compromise, with faster more ambitious people having to slow down a bit and slower more leisurely types having to speed up a bit all in order to keep the group together. 
      Some of these outings can be quite popular.  Contact us and we can advise you regarding space availability and fill you in on all the details. After you RSVP, we will provide you with all the specific details (meeting place, what to bring, etc.)

Please RSVP if you wish to participate by emailing us at  or calling (719) 207-4130

Volunteer Work Projects  

     We always have simple monitoring work that needs to be done.  If you are interested in helping with this, whether it be from one hour to 8, please contact QUC and we can likely accomodate your schedule and preference.  All of these projects are in scenic locations on public lands, you will be helping to make a difference, and will learn something too.
     We work with the USDA Forest Service, BLM and other groups on cooperative projects to protect and preserve public land.  
      Contact us for more information, or to learn all the ways you can help make these important projects successful.  Normally there are many ways you can help make these projects a success, no matter what your ability level.

Note:  We generally provide lunch, instruction, tools and help with transportation for our full volunteer projects.
