Always say YES to Adventure!
Join us in welcoming Laura Clark, author of Wild Wander and professional mountaineer, as she talks about how to stay safe while enjoying the outdoors in Colorado. Laura M Clark has taught outdoor survival skills for over 20 years and summited over 600 peaks above 13,000’ in Colorado alone. She’s the first woman to solo summit Colorado’s 14ers, as well as the 200 highest peaks in Colorado.
In this talk, Laura will cover topics such as the 10 essentials, how to prevent getting lost, what to do if you find yourself lost, how to dress for the changing Colorado weather, how to effectively manage Colorado wildlife encounters, and how to safely enjoy the Colorado wilderness. Laura will also share personal adventures from her book, describing how she’s self-rescued while mountaineering alone in remote wilderness, along with some fascinating real-life ghost stories.
All activities are free to the public. All vehicles are required to have a Colorado state parks pass.
