Mount Lincoln and Mount Democrat, part of the popular DeCaLiBron loop near Alma, will reopen Friday with new rules, according to an announcement from the Fix CRUS Coalition Thursday.
The peaks were closed due to liability concerns that stemmed from a bicyclist crash in 2008 in a different part of the state — the U.S. Air Force Academy in El Paso County. That year, bicyclist James Nelson filed a liability lawsuit after he and his wife were riding on an unofficial Air Force Academy trail and he hit a sinkhole, fell off his bike and was seriously injured. The family was awarded $7.
"This news is the result of collaboration between the U.S. Forest Service, Town of Alma, and landowner John Reiber," the coalition wrote in a press release."They worked tirelessly to establish a cooperative liability waiver system for the peaks." Most of Colorado's 14,000-plus-foot peaks are on public land owned by the U.S. Forest Service or Bureau of Land Management and are open to everyone to use. But at least eight are either partially or completely privately owned, including Mount Democrat, Mount Lincoln and Mount Lindsey.
