The Colorado Trail

During the summer of 2016 I was lucky enough to be able to take two months out of work. It’s always been my dream to complete a long trail in the United States, the 486 mile Colorado Trail exceeded all my expectations. This page pulls together my blog posts relating to this wonderful trail, including a full trip report.
