Taylor Series: Chasing the Colorado Fourteeners

Drew Peterson: slides and talk. 7:00 P.M. Capital City Grange, Northfield Rd., Montpelier. Hiking all of the Rockies highest mountains is like trying to solve a huge puzzle, one piece at a time, with no guarantee of completion. Now halfway through Colorado s 54 peaks over 14,000 feet, stewardship volunteer Drew Petersen shares photographs and stories from his 2011 solo trip. He will transport us on a journey past unexpected jewels–herds of mountain goats, crystalline lakes, nights camped beneath Alpine Desert skies, and the challenge of difficult climbs. $6 members, $8 nonmembers, kids under 12 free.
