I hiked the Colorado Trail from Denver to Durango, starting 7/4/17 and finishing 9/5/17. I took the more difficult, but scenic Collegiate West route. In addition to the 484.6 mile trail, I took numerous side trips (e.g., Lost Creek Wilderness Loop, Four Pass Loop - Aspen, etc) and climbed 7 14ers (Massive, Elbert, Oxford, Belford, Missouri Mt., Yale, and San Luis Peak) along the way. it was an epic hike and a part of my Bucket List.
