I am expressing interest in doing the CT next year. What is the most recommended guidebook for the trail? I am looking for something that has mileage, town info, water, and so on.

Heya Chaos. The Colorado Trail Foundation sells the guidebook and databook on there website www.coloradotrail.org. You might ask Mags for info as well, he has a wesite listed in one of his more recent post here. Also Zach Attack is another poster here who can share some good info. I hked the trail from Waterton to Salida last summer so I may be able to answer some of your questions as well. Good luck.

Yep…the CTF has great info. You’ll want the databook and the CT Guidebook for general planning. Maps are needed as well!
I wrote a PDF file that may help, too.
