Colorado Trail

End of a Hike – Durango

My goal today is to finish the trail but the more immediate goal is to reach Gudy’s Rest. A short video says the rest a I come to the end of a hike to remember.

Last Full Day on the Colorado Trail

Waking up at Taylor Lake this morning made me realize that today is the last full day of hiking. I’m writing this seven miles from the Colorado Trail terminus.

Taylor Lake

There were two summits over 12,000 feet. Both were steep climbs with rock and stone fields. I reached the second summit and descended to Taylor Lake.

Closing in on Durango

I hiked a little longer than usual, and finally found a campsite at 5:30. Only 40 miles to the end of the trail and Durango!

A Push to the Finish Line

I’m stoked for the last push to the finish line of the CT. A little after 9 AM this morning, Mike, who works at the Avon Hotel, gave me a ride to the trailhead.
