Our Story

Fire in the Mountains was originally created to highlight the symbiotic relationship between heavy music and mountain landscapes. It was a way to bring people together to experience something extraordinary: the primal power of heavy music combined with the majesty and wildness of the Rocky Mountains.

What transpired was a truly unique and inspiring musical experience for the audience and bands alike.

Today, Fire in the Mountains is evolving to be much more than just a concert in the mountains. It’s the deliberate curation of music, art, education, food, social responsibility, and adventure with the intention to cultivate our intrinsic nature through the act of rewilding; that is, to reconnect and immerse oneself with the natural world, thus strengthening our ancestral roots.

OUR MISSION

Connecting to nature and oneself through music, art, adventure, and education, all in a remote wilderness setting, Fire in the Mountains will act as an immersion-based experience seeking to rekindle one’s inner fire and relationship with the natural world.

Fire in the Mountains intentionally curates music that embodies and exemplifies the primal wonder of the natural world. We are by no means solely a metal festival.

When curating the music we seek out musicians whose sounds act as conduits to enhance the inspirational marvel that are the Rocky Mountains.

The musical landscapes of those who play Fire in the Mountains capture the power of our epic natural landscapes, while their lyrical themes relate to life’s ethereal and esoteric mysteries.

They provide the fuel to ignite the fire in the mountains.
