One of the best hikes in the world

Colorado Trail

This is a MAJOR long distance adventure like the Pacific Crest Trail. You need do a lot of advance planning. If 500 miles is too much we recommend 3 highlight sections:

• Collegiate West 80mi (4-7 days) <site><trip>
• San Luis Pass to Molas Pass (4-7 days)
  
• Silverton (Molas Pass) to Durango (4-5 days) <trip>

AT A GLANCE

• 486mi (782km) from Denver to Durango
• shares 234 miles with the Continental Divide Trail
• 4-6 weeks
• highest point is 13,240ft (4035m)
• average elevation about 10,347ft (3048m)
•  long stretches where resupply is difficult
• no permits required
• wildflowers best in July
