My ‘long hike’ for 2023 is the Colorado Trail (CT), approximately 500 miles, from just outside Denver to Durango, near the southern state border with New Mexico.

The average elevation is 10.3k, and the highest elevation is 13.3k. I hiked a good part of the CT way back in 2014, where the CDT in Colorado shares a good portion of the route.
