Picking the Colorado Trail means you must be prepared for some tough alpine experience. The hike is 500 miles (805 km) long and you will easily need a month to complete it. You'll pass through the finest Colorado mountains, at high elevations, enjoying spectacular views.
This path is very popular. And what's more: thru-hiking is possible even for mortals like you and me with a job and a family. Use wintertime to improve your condition, so you can take off early summer for the real beef.
