"If you’re up for a challenge, try hiking your way across the state. Starting in the suburb of Littleton, the Colorado Trail is a backpacking trail that traverses 486 miles to Durango. It takes a minimum of one month and requires ample gear and backcountry knowledge. But, hey, Denver’s a great place to pick up such knowledge, and since so many people come here and never leave, hiking the Colorado Trail may well be in your future plans." - MATADOR_NETWORK
What an epic trail, I was lucky enough to run 23 miles on it for a 60k race through Silverton CO. For any thru hiker or adventurer this is a must to hike!

Hiked part of section 43 onto the mesa. Amazing views but a bit windy
