Ever wonder what it's like to spend days immersed in Colorado's high country? Stretching nearly 500 miles from Denver to Durango through the heart of the Rocky Mountains, the Colorado Trail winds past alpine lakes, wildflower-filled meadows, remote mountain passes, and some of the most breathtaking scenery in the American West. Join us for an inspiring look at this iconic long-distance trail. We'll explore what makes the Colorado Trail so special, highlight unforgettable sections and destinations along the route, and share lessons learned from hikers who've experienced it firsthand. Whether you're dreaming of a thru-hike, planning a section hike, or simply curious about the adventure, you'll leave with ideas, inspiration, and practical tips to help plan your own Colorado Trail journey.

Notes

Robert “Moxie” Greenier has spent a lot of time walking long distances, with more than 5,000 miles of backpacking experience, including two treks of the Colorado Trail. He brings a practical, down-to-earth perspective shaped by time on the trail, what works, what doesn’t, and the things you learn along the way. Robert enjoys sharing that experience with others and helping make the Colorado Trail feel a little less intimidating and a lot more approachable.
