Colorado Trail by the Numbers

Colorado Trail by the numbers! 

I keep a brief journal entry for each day and record daily mileage on each trail. It's fun to go back and see what you've done and how it compares to other hikes. Data is in miles or miles per day. 

 Zero= No trail miles hiked 

Nero= under 10 trail miles 

Hero= 30+ trail miles

CT - Colorado Trail

CDT - Continental Divide Trail

AT - Appalachian Trail

PCT - Pacific Crest Trail

Dirty feet every day!

Snow cuts from post holing

Log jams from avalanches, guessing this was from the 2019 avalanches that were going off everywhere all over Colorado.

Note, anytime I say Culvers, I am meaning to say Carver. It was Carver Brewery that offers a free beer to hikers for finishing.
