The nonprofit Conservation Fund has purchased parts of Mount Democrat

Mount Democrat, center, as seen from the ridge that connects the popular fourteener with Mount Cameron and Mount Lincoln, has been sold to The Conservation Fund, preserving permanent public access to it and the rest of the so-called DeCaLiBron Loop. Portions of the mountain peaks have been on private property, with access restricted at times in recent years. (John Meyer, Denver Post file)
