Private 14ers: CFI Mount Shavano Project Update, Phase II Plans

[@kentd4762]

Great work CFI and volunteers!

I recall when I was on that route in 2015, thinking how eroded parts of the upper route were in particular. Thank you for this work. And no one wants to be walking on baby heads.

Thank you so much for the work you're doing!

Awesome work! CFI is a gem of an organization.

Thanks Lloyd for the update and details. Had no idea Shavano rail was eroding so badly until you provided this update. I assume the ridge connecting Mt. Shavano to Tabeguache Peak is in good shape.

Any chance you make a side trail to the angel?

[@CO14ersInitiative]

The top of the lower bypass will end near the start of the Angel route. This is where the summer route starts making the rightward traverse near timberline. The upper part of the Angel should connect with the new upper bypass trail higher up on the mountain than occurs today. The Forest Service will not be putting in any additional trails, but it seems like the connection should be there depending upon snowpack and melt patterns.
