  • It is slightly easier to do this trail from west to east.
  • If you prefer filtering water from a clear mountain stream, there are several of those on this segment of the CO Trail.
  • Figure on about three hours for biking this trail segment and six hours for hiking it. Times will vary based on weather, trail conditions and your ability.
  • A good book for navigating the Colorado Trail is The Colorado Trail: The Official Guidebook of the Colorado Trail Foundation.
