The Colorado Rockies are part of the North American Cordillera that stretches 3,000 miles from Alaska through western Canada and the United States into northern Mexico. The centerpieces of this dramatic uplift are the 54 peaks over 14,000 feet, or "Fourteeners," as climbers affectionately refer to them. Nearly 500,000 people visit Colorado's Fourteeners each year. While some of the more remote peaks remain pristine, increased recreational use has seriously impacted many peaks and their alpine basins.
