Colorado TrailThe Colorado Trail (CT) is a 469 mile long trail running from the outskirts of Denver to Durango in Colorado, United States. The CT traverses Colorado's mountains. Its highest point is 13,080' above sea level at Coney Summit. Most of the trail is above 10,000 feet. Despite its high elevation, the trail often dips below the treeline to provide a measure of safety in the exposed, storm-prone regions above treeline. Some Colorado Trail facts The fastest time taken to complete the Colorado Trail is fourteen days. The Colorado Trail was completed in 1987. The majority of "Thru-Hikers" (hikers who hike the trail in one segment) hike from east to west, due to the gentler elevation gains and favorable snowmelt encountered when hiking from Denver to Durango. The Colorado Trail passes through a section of Rocky Mountain National Park. The Colorado Trail and the Continental Divide Trail follow the same path for approx. 100 miles.
