You can also slack pack several sections around Leadville, as the trail crosses about 5 different roads into town. The Leadville hostel was a nice, unplanned stop for me that lasted several nights....

Wow, I had no idea! Thank you for letting me know.
I like the way Colorado_Rob said it much better. Just be aware that snow is a real possibility. Have a great trip, and if you need help and are in Denver, send me a PM and I'll do what I can.
I hiked the Colorado Trail in 2012, and I can answer a few of your questions.
First I need to caution you: The last half of September should be considered Winter conditions. Snow can come as...
When I did the Colorado Trail, I had a buddy drive me to the trail head and hike the first five miles with me. It was just for a few hours but it really put my nerves at ease. Have you considered...
I forgot all about him! Enjoy, you'll be in for a good time.
I remember stocking up nearly 7 litres for that section originally. It scared me a lot that the distance was so great. I had already ran out of water twice earlier on the trail because 2012 was so...
I did that stretch a couple of years ago and didn't have any trouble. I planned ahead and took about 4 litres, which was enough to make it the 22 miles. It has also been a pretty wet year across...
Happy Feet, check your Private Messages, I just sent you one!
I had a six liter capacity, but never carried more than 3 1/2. If I hike the trail again, I'd keep this capacity. I only ran out of water twice, once in Segment 2, about 1 1/2 miles from the...
It took me about four steps to get used to my trekking poles, fall in love with them, and decide to never go on another hike without at least one. I usually only have one out if I'm on flat land or...
I live in Denver, and I have been day hiking segments of the ADT around Denver for several months now. I am looking to start doing longer trips, and I am wondering if anyone has any...
Thank you, done!
I saw this list, but as far as I can tell there is no way to get in touch with them. They just list their names and trail names and that they finished. No emails, etc. I was hoping to reach out.
Haha, this thought crossed my mind. I got stranded between Durango and Pagosa Springs along side the highway the day before, and I ended up sleeping in the median of the highway, practically begging...
In 2012 I hitched from Durango to Alamosa. Missed the bus by an hour. Paid an extra $10 to switch the day on my bus ticket, waited 23 hours, got on the bus, and was back in Denver five hours later....
Hey, lately I have had Springer Fever hard, and I have been wondering what happened to a few hikers who I ran into on the trail. Two were going by the trail name's Hatman and Happy Feet, we hiked...
Late to the party here. Did Southwest bound in 2012. Live in Denver, wanted to take advantage of easier terrain and less snowpack, although in 2012 pretty much the entire trail was passable by June...
Hi, my name is Kyle, and I am going to be thru-hiking the CT, Denver to Durango, leaving sometime around June 25th. I am wondering if anyone else is hiking either solo or with a small group and...
I will be starting sometime later this month, in late June.
