After the stewardship project, we will host an evening event at the Estes Park Mountain Shop. The event will include dinner, refreshments, raffles, and speakers. Speakers are scheduled to be Tommy Caldwell (Estes Park local and professional climber) and Erik Murdock (Policy Director for The Access Fund).
