Why?
Where did the idea of hiking the Colorado Trail come from? To be honest, I don't really know... When I hiked the PCT I had been dreaming about it for years, hungry for it and wonderstruck by the idea. I've had several friends complete and attempt the Colorado Trail and they all reported back a mostly enjoyable time. I myself have walked sections of the trail on other journeys and wondered "where does this thing go?". In mid June of 2024 I'll set out on another long walk, I've become restless. While this thru-hike won't be straight from end to end (I've opted to break it into 2 two week sections in order to keep my job...), its still bound to be a helluva adventure!
