On February 16th, 2016, I presented an overview of The Colorado Trail that covered logistics, resupply, gear, section hiking and other topics of interest to travelers on The Colorado Trail.
For those interested, the presentation may be viewed here.
The presentation is loaded up in Google Presentation. The Power Point-like presentation may be viewed online. No special software needed to view.
You do miss my colorful anecdotes (!) , but I feel this presentation does give a good feel for some of the concerns of anyone thinking of traveling on The Colorado Trail.
Thanks Paul for coming out last night to make this presentation. I’m new to backpacking but hope to take my first weekender this summer. I was thinking about renting a pack for my first time out – any recommendations for gear rentals in Boulder? Anyway, I learned a lot both from the presentation and the Q&A- great info. Thanks again, and I hope you get out of that beige cubicle a bunch this year 😉
Awesome. Should be a good time! Now where in Boulder rents gear to non-CU students. However, Jax in nearby Lafayette does have a good amount of gear for rent. Great outdoor store, too. http://www.jaxmercantile.com/Rentals/
thanks Paul.. it has been on my list since moving here 26 years ago, never had time.. every time I go up Waterton, I start fantasizing.. ha.
Thanks for putting this up here. I was unable to go to the talk, and I appreciate this slide show.
Added to my To Do list. Thanks for throwing that up!
Another trail guide resource is Erik the Blacks’ CT guide book.
Indeed. It is specifically mentioned in my main Colorado Trail guide and alluded to as Less used: Other alternate resources for data books, alt routes or planning
