The Colorado Trail (CT) is laid out in 28 segments starting south of Denver at Waterton Canyon and ending in Durango.  In the Collegiate Peaks, segments 11 through 15, hikers have a choice of trekking either the Collegiate East or West route (or for the ambitious - both!).  I chose the Collegiate East route.  The pictures in the slideshow below are arranged they way I walked the trail in August and September of 2017, beginning with Segment 1.  Come walk the trail with me!
