Colorado Trail - Day 0 Its been a bit since I’ve updated on this blog, and now seems like a good time. Nate and I are headed out tomorrow for another thru hike! This time with more experience and lighter packs. We’re hitting the Colorado Trail. Our goal is to hike all 485 miles from Denver to Durango in three and a half weeks. We’ve been told this is ambitious, but when I look at the daily mileage & elevation, it looks easier than what we did on the Pacific Crest Trail. The fact that we live in Colorado and have family & friends here only makes it simpler - resupplies and showers will be provided by our best buds! We aren’t planning on taking any zeros (zero mile days = days off), so our plan is to start slow and build the mileage up as we go. We may have a few neros (near zero days = like a half day of hiking) as we get into towns, but overall, so long as we don’t have injuries, the plan is to hike straight through starting in Denver on the 15th and ending in Durango sometime around early-mid August. Just like on the PCT, I’ll be writing everyday and posting it along with photos. I will most likely not be in cell service everyday, so I’ll post multiple days when we get to town!
