11 days in the trail

Hi there,
I’m a Swede who is planning on walking 10-11 days on the Colorado Trail this summer. Flight tickets are already booked to Denver, 1 July - 15 July. Now I’m looking for suggestions from you people who know the trail the best :slight_smile:

I’m thinking of either do:
Salida - Silverton in 10 days. Then take the train to Durango and rent a car there and drive back to Denver.

OR.

Bus to Gunnison, hitchhike to Highway 114 and walk the whole way to Durango. (If I don’t have the time I stop in Silverton)

What do you think? How do I make the most of the trail in 10 days?

I have some experience of walking, but 8 days in a row at maximum. (15 miles/day)

Thanks!

Mange
