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
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
