Just realized I've hiked over 500 miles on the Colorado Trail without finishing it
I was looking at my trail journal and added up all the section hikes from the past four years. It came to 512 miles, which is more than the trail's full 486-mile length from Denver to Durango. I've done the Collegiate West loop twice and kept repeating my favorite parts near Twin Lakes instead of pushing through the drier sections. Has anyone else ended up with more miles than needed by avoiding certain segments?
