Loop trail w/fishing

#1

nyMy husband and I, two other couples, and our dog are planning a backpacking trip in early June. We’ve decided Colorado is our destination, but are still researching where exactly to go. We’re coming (by car) from Abilene, TX, so we’d like to stay in the southern half of CO. We’re looking for about a 3 day/3 night hike that will take us near some good trout fishing waters. We thought a loop-trail would be nice, to avoid going up and down the same trail, but that may not be possible. There are various levels of experience within our group, so moderate terrain would be best. We plan to pack in everything we need. Any advice would be great! Thanks…

check out www.pmags.com Mags knows more about Colorado trails than most. A good resource. I know that he responded to a similar inquiry a few months ago. Enjoy your hike.

Here are some links to some websites with good info… The Rainbow Trail in the Sangre de Cristos are great for backpacking and fishing with tons of streams and lakes. Enjoy
