More than 200 people hiked, biked and wheeled their way along Chautauqua Park’s Enchanted Mesa trail on Saturday, supporting each other every step of the way.

This weekend, Chautauqua Park, 900 Baseline Road, hosted the annual “What’s Your Everest” adaptive hike, a community event organized by Colorado nonprofit group No Barriers. The nonprofit group empowers individuals to work through their challenges, with programs for disabled military veterans, caregivers and youth.

Saturday’s hike didn’t include a race or distance goal. Instead, participants were tasked with choosing a “summit” that would be an accomplishment for them.

“It’s not about speed. It’s not even about finishing,” said Bill D’Amico, a board member with No Barriers. “It’s just about doing a group event, and making sure they break their own personal barriers.”

With the Flatirons in view, the hikers tackled the trail in teams. Some were wheelchair users who swapped their usual devices for all-terrain chairs.

Erik Weihenmayer, co-founder of No Barriers, kicked off the morning by addressing the hikers at the Chautauqua Auditorium. Weihenmayer shared his story of becoming the first blind person to summit Mount Everest and how that journey led him to do more outdoor adventures.

“I hope you guys celebrate a lot of summits today,” Weihenmayer told the audience.

This year marks the first time that “What’s Your Everest” has been held at Chautauqua Park; last year’s hike was at Copper Mountain ski resort in Summit County. Boulder was chosen to make the hike easier to access, especially for people living in Front Range cities.“We’re hoping to continue to grow this movement,” Weihenmayer said. “I think the world needs more communities where people are leaning into each other and solving problems and being proactive.”

After the hike, the participants were treated to a party on the Chautauqua Park lawn with music and dancing.

“Building community is a big part of this,” said Kelly Liggett, executive director of No Barriers.

Anton Ferguson, who has Parkinson’s, was one of Saturday’s hikers. He has also done several previous “What’s Your Everest” hikes. What he likes about them, he said, is the camaraderie between the participants.

“If you don’t make it the whole way, that was your Everest,” Ferguson said. “It’s your own personal Everest.”
