Shop Small. Explore Big. Support CMC.

With the first snow finally settling over the Front Range, the season of giving is officially here! As you think about the small businesses and community organizations you love, we hope you’ll consider supporting Colorado Mountain Club this Small Business Saturday.

Whether it’s grabbing film festival tickets for a night of inspiration, gifting a CMC membership to the adventurer in your life, or making a donation in someone’s honor, each choice directly strengthens our small-but-mighty nonprofit that’s been stewarding Colorado’s outdoors for more than a century.

Here are some of the most impactful ways you can support CMC this season:

Give Back

The Colorado Mountain Club's mission is about improving lives through education, adventure, and connection. We give back so that future generations are well equipped to thrive and you play a key role in it all. This holiday season, make a financial contribution to the CMC and help us invest in the future.

Gift CMC Gear

This season share the gift of gear with a gift from the CMC store! Represent the CMC while out on the trail to help spread awareness of our mission!

This time of year is critical for nonprofits; especially outdoor organizations feeling the strain of rising costs and shrinking funding. Your support helps keep education programs running, conservation work moving, and Colorado’s trail-ready community thriving.

Thank you for standing with CMC this holiday season!
