Hey everyone, I'm happy to say that at 10AM this morning I officially finished the Colorado Trail! I finished exactly one month after I set out on June 18 from Waterton Canyon just south of Denver. From what I can tell I think I may be one of the first if not the first thru-hiker to finish the trek this year (since I was pushing it a bit with my start date). I endured 486 miles of rugged terrain, snowy slopes, scenic mountaintop vistas, mosquito ridden creeks, colorful wildflowers, ridge top thunder storms and curious wildlife. While I hiked solo I was so happy to have some of my friends come out and visit along the way and met lots of interesting characters along the way. It was such an amazing experience and a great way to get to know this incredible state.
If you are still interested in hearing more please stay tuned as I have lots more stories and pictures to share over the next few weeks. Unfortunately many of the smaller towns along the way didn't have anywhere to get online so I couldn't tell my tales along the way. However maybe that was all part of the Colorado experience being away from all that. I will be posting more over the next few weeks so thanks for all your interest and support. I hope you've enjoyed hearing about my adventures thus far and there is more to come!
