About Us
I've come to Garden of the Gods on an almost weekly basis for the past 3 years and it was fulfilling to finally be able to give back to it, even if just a little. The RMFI team is passionate about the work they do and it definitely gets passed down to the volunteers and keeps them motivated throughout the day as well. The entire team was kind, inclusive, knowledgable, and approachable. Can't wait to volunteer again.

Despite canceled volunteer events, RMFI and The Access Fund knocked out fantastic work in Indian Creek, Utah from March 14 through March 21! These approach trails to highly trafficked crags in the Donnelly Canyon corridor, including Generic Crack and Battle of the Bulge, received some much needed rock steps and retaining walls. A big thanks to all of our project partners for supporting work at this world class climbing area and iconic area of the American West during these crazy times!
