  • COLORADO CONTINENTAL DIVIDE TRAIL COALITION VISIT COLORADO! Day & Overnight Hikes on the Continental Divide Trail
    CONTINENTAL DIVIDE NATIONAL SCENIC TRAIL DAY & OVERNIGHT HIKES: COLORADO CONTINENTAL DIVIDE TRAIL COALITION VISIT COLORADO! Day & Overnight Hikes on the Continental Divide Trail THE CENTENNIAL STATE The Colorado Rockies are the quintessential CDT experience! The CDT traverses 800 miles of these majestic and challenging peaks dotted with abandoned homesteads and ghost towns, and crosses the ancestral lands of the Ute, Eastern Shoshone, and Cheyenne peoples. The CDT winds through some of Colorado’s most incredible landscapes: the spectacular alpine tundra of the South San Juan, Weminuche, and La Garita Wildernesses where the CDT remains at or above 11,000 feet for nearly 70 miles; remnants of the late 1800’s ghost town of Hancock that served the Alpine Tunnel; the awe-inspiring Collegiate Peaks near Leadville, the highest incorporated city in America; geologic oddities like The Window, Knife Edge, and Devil’s Thumb; the towering 14,270 foot Grays Peak – the highest point on the CDT; Rocky Mountain National Park with its rugged snow-capped skyline; the remote Never Summer Wilderness; and the broad valleys and numerous glacial lakes and cirques of the Mount Zirkel Wilderness. You might also encounter moose, mountain goats, bighorn sheep, marmots, and pika on the CDT in Colorado. In this guide, you’ll find Colorado’s best day and overnight hikes on the CDT, organized south to north. ELEVATION: The average elevation of the CDT in Colorado is 10,978 ft, and all of the hikes listed in this guide begin at elevations above 8,000 ft. Remember to bring plenty of water, sun protection, and extra food, and know that a hike at elevation will likely be more challenging than the same distance hike at sea level.

Yes, it’s been a great snow year for the Sawatch and Mosquito Ranges as explained by Eric Hunter, leader of these adventurous Pikes Peak Group trekkers. It was still cool and the snow relatively firm on this beautiful blue bird sky day, later warming into the 50’s thus softening the snow for this 8-mile jaunt and creating an anticipation for the cold beer and food later. The trail we hiked along is loaded with history and lots of current- day activity. In the 1880’s the Denver, Rio Grande & Western trains chugged along this roadbed to get over the pass and later through a tunnel.

There are people who live in inner cities who don’t know what that sounds like. Here in the mountains of Colorado, we are in a very unique area where we have that available to us every time we walk out our front door. That is right now. If we don’t act now, it may not be there for our future or our children or grandchildren. Fortunately there is a way that you can help protect this incredible resource today for future generations. And you will be in the company of several other respected organizations, leaders, and concerned citizens. Listen: “We have a unique opportunity to protect this outstanding place, in fact, we believe this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
