Leave No Trace Hosts River Cleanup

Boulder, CO: The Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics partnered with Outlier Productions to bring over 20 outdoor brands together for a river clean up along Cherry Creek Trail and Platte River in Denver, CO on May 24, 2017. The event began at REI flagship store and from there participating companies collected trash along the popular trail followed by an after party at Denver Beer Company with a silent auction and prizes. Through this event Leave No Trace was able to rally the outdoor industry and benefit the local community’s recreational space in a message to Outdoor Retailer than Denver should be its next home for its biannual trade show.

Participating companies included Subaru, Keen, Deuter, Nite Ize, Sea to Summit, The North Face, Alpine Start Foods, Mountain Hardwear, Orvis, ArcTeryx, Patagonia Denver, Royal Robbins, Denver Beer Co., Runners Roost, Crazy Mountain, Joyride Brewing Co., Jagged Mountain, Mountainsmith, Kelty, Sierra Designs, Green Guru, Down River, Rep Your Water and Outlier Productions.

With a total of over 75 volunteers, we covered over 12 miles and were able to collect 2,250 gallons of trash along the river. By participating in the event, these brands raised a total of $9,000.

All funds raised will go to support the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics Hot Spot Program. Hot Spots are all public lands — city parks, forests, open space land, national parks — across the country that have sustained damaged from overuse. In its sixth year, the Leave No Trace Hot Spot program has helped dozens of damaged public lands regain their health and long-term sustainability through weeklong, onsite education and events, engaging the local community in training, service and outreach.

Drink mixes

These will be amazing around the fire camping.

Love this combo

This mix tastes great and I feel much better with this combination from Alpine start than other mushroom coffees (that also include coffee). I usually stick to cold brew due to acidity of hot brewed coffee but this mix and the regular instant coffee from alpine start doesn’t upset my stomach they way brewed coffee does. Awesome product at a great price right now!

Clouds Parted and Angels Sung

Saw this when shopping for something else at REI and heard it softly whispering my name, figured if REI was carrying it then it probably didn’t suck. Definitely DOES. NOT. SUCK. Promptly returned after the camping trip to buy the store out. Sorta felt like a jerk not leaving any for anyone else, but, I’m putting that on Alpine Start for making such a good drink. I now have developed a slight addiction to the point that I’m actually drinking them at home, like, in lieu of ACTUAL chai from, say, Starbucks. Slightly worried I’m going to start just snorting lines of the packets, but it hasn’t reached that level of addiction. Yet. But do yourself a favor and grab a box, or 10, for your next trip.

My wife loves it

I bought this for my wife since she's always asking for hot cocoa. She loves it so mission accomplished Alpine start.

Coffee with Benefits

What a fun product- I add it to my already robust coffee pour and it adds flavor and attributes.
