Waiver and Release*

As a participant in activities of The Colorado Trail Foundation, I agree to the following waiver and release:
I acknowledge that backcountry travel, activities and work projects have risks, hazards and dangers that cannot be eliminated, particularly in a wilderness environment in mountainous terrain. I understand that these risks, hazards, and dangers, which may cause disability, injury and death, include without limitation:

• Risks from activities in areas where no outside services are available or provided; where rescue and medical services are limited and slow, if available at all; where trail or road conditions vary, are not maintained, and are unpredictable and changeable; where weather also is unpredictable and changeable; and where injuries could include, but are not limited to, cuts, wounds, contusions, broken bones, sprained muscles, animal or insect bites/stings, exposure, dehydration, hypothermia, frostbite, and head injuries;

• Risks involved in decision-making and route-finding in a wilderness environment; getting lost resulting in dehydration, hypothermia, or frostbite,

• Other risks, hazards, and dangers common to wilderness travel and outdoor activities that include, but are not limited to, trail construction and repair, camping, cooking, hiking, climbing, mountaineering, and backpacking.

I have read and understand the information provided by The Colorado Trail Foundation about the activities, work projects, and travel to and from such activities. I also understand that I have a responsibility for my own safety and the safety of others as a backcountry user.

I understand and accept the risks described above.

Assumption of Liability*

I understand that participation in the travel, activities and projects of The Colorado Trail Foundation require good physical condition. I and/or my family, including my minor children, who are fully capable of participating in The Colorado Trail Foundation activities and willingly assume the risk of injury as my/our responsibility, including the loss of control or balance in walking, hiking, or climbing; weather; collision with trees, rocks, or other obstacles, whether obvious or not obvious. I am voluntarily participating in activities and projects of The Colorado Trail Foundation with full knowledge of the risks, hazards and dangers involved.

I take responsibility for any injuries to myself.

Indemnification and Model Release*

By my signature, for myself, my family (including minor children), my estate, and my heirs, I hereby knowingly and intentionally release, indemnify and hold harmless The Colorado Trail Foundation, its directors, officers, service providers, independent contractors, agents, employees, and volunteers from and against any and all claims, actions, causes of actions, liabilities, suits, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and negligence of any kind or nature, whether foreseen or unforeseen, arising directly or indirectly out of any damage, loss, injury, disability, or death to me or my property as a result of my participation in the activities and projects of The Colorado Trail Foundation, the use of its information or services and traveling in a wilderness environment in mountainous terrain, whether such damage, loss, injury, disability, or death results from negligence of The Colorado Trail Foundation, its directors, officers, service providers, independent contractors, agents, employees, or volunteers or from some other cause. I further agree not to sue The Colorado Trail Foundation, its directors, officers, service providers, independent contractors, agents, employees, and volunteers as a result of any damage, loss, injury, disability, or death that may occur while participating in its activities or projects. Also, I authorize the CTF, and or parties designated by CTF, to use my or my child’s photo for sale or reproduction in any manner CTF desires, for advertising, display, audio visual, or other use.
