There is only one thing that can make hiking, yoga, running, climbing, or skiing better: Colorado.

andColorado is a lifestyle apparel brand that celebrates the outdoors in Colorado and around the country. Made with quality materials and unique designs, andColorado has created an alternative to other brands. andColorado encourages the exploration of the outdoors, while raising awareness for education and preservation of the natural sites around the country. They work with programs that help in their endeavors to stop the harmful effects that humans are having on these sites.

andColorado is new to the scene, but already has very big plans for the future. They will be contributing to the preservation of the natural sites around the country by holding fundraising events and publishing content to get more people to join the “Leave No Trace” cause.

“Share your good fortune with others. Participate in charity. We may differ in our faith, religion, and culture, yet we all live together on the same boat. We are only custodians and not owners of The Earth, not its conquerors nor its destroyers.”

-Native American Code of Ethics

“Leave No Trace” is an international program that aims to reduce environmental impacts. andColorado is committed to furthering this cause in Colorado through education of its principles, participation in restoring the land, and in contribution.

The future of wilderness camping, hikes and other sustainable outdoor recreation is dependent on how people adopt the principles that make up this cause:

  1. Plan Ahead and Prepare
  2. Travel and Camp on Durable Surfaces
  3. Dispose of Waste Properly
  4. Leave What You Find
  5. Minimize Campfire Impacts
  6. Respect Wildlife
  7. Be Considerate of Other Visitors
