On July 17, I began an attempted thru-hike (with a few detours) of the Colorado Trail. I’m heading southbound from Denver to Durango.
This is Episode 8 in the series in which I approach Lake City, CO, and the San Juans. The video includes San Luis Peak, San Luis Pass and Snow Mesa.
Total trip days in this video: Day 23 to Day 25.
The Colorado Trail segments includes in this video are: Colorado Trail Segment18 (Colorado Hwy-114 to Saguache Park Road) (partial); Segment 19 (Saguache Park Road to Eddiesville Trailhead); Segment 20 (Eddiesville Trailhead to San Luis Pass); and Segment 21 (San Luis Pass to Spring Creek Pass Trailhead).
Liz is making videos too. At RU-vid: “Liz Kidder”

I think the sheep got nervous and ran when you said "I gotta find a sheep." 😲

Lake City is lovely.

What a view!!

@numinoushiker 11 месяцев назад

Who doesn't love a good Taco? Especially in the Wild West. What are your and Liz cowboy names? You'll never see stars like that in the city. So glad you're still on trail. Awesome to see you both still making steps. Trail on ☺️

Love the music. Those guitar riff transitions remind me soo much of the Jackass movies lol. Love the views!

@wandacraig8286 11 месяцев назад

New to your channel. I've watched about three of your videos on this hike. I follow Liz because of her dreadlock business but got started watching her hikes and love it. Loved that you all hiked together and, Taco included, and decided to take an extra day. Can't hike now due to disability, age and fat, but these videos are so refreshing to my days. Loved that Liz left her mark on Taco😊

This looks like a really fun trip. We may need to get a horse.

@Evan - you're from the Lou!!! You have that general affability that I appreciate so. I don't hear the "38, 39, FARTY" sort of accent, tho!! Cheers.

@charliejg 11 месяцев назад

Evan, you said exactly what I have been thinking throughout your hike. I didn't realize how expansive the open land was out there. Pretty incredible! Have a great day....

@DrJohn493 11 месяцев назад

Enjoyed seeing you on this segment of the CT and I'll look forward to more of your hike. I've volunteered many summers with the Colorado Trail Foundation and in 2010 I worked for a week on the segment beginning at the Eddiesville Trailhead. Caught a few nice trout fly fishing Cochetopa Creek on our day off. Good to see the work we did 13 years ago is holding up well. Thanks for the nice scenery and memories.

Evan thanks for videos you are the best. You know how it is out here in the North Carolina mountains? You have hiked them many times. I have been out to colorado montana wyoming and other states many times. You said it right them states. You don't realize how big they are unless you get out in them. You hike drive and look at those mountains. And you go around a big mountain. And the same thing as far as you can see more and more, big mountains. The views are unique. It's just a different beautiful area. It gives u. Alot of different feelings . I tell everyone here they need to go west and see. I'll be out there the last of Sept. After some people have left. Will hike for 2 to 4 days . Good to meet guy with horse. Thanks for your videos... oh yeah. What is the cook pot Liz is using. Thanks

Don't get too close to the back of the horse! 😂

@BonesInTheWild 11 месяцев назад

I didn’t realize you were from Missouri…..it’s great to see a couple of Missouri folk. I love those mountain view’s.

@Feribrat99 11 месяцев назад

Can sure tell when the elevation gets to you in your speech and thinking, I spent a few weeks in the area of Durango and up into the San Juans mountains and it affected me as well. You guys are doing a great hike though Thanks for bringing us along.

@SpearShooter 11 месяцев назад

So excited that you're on a new adventure. I've been watching since Sheltowee!

@Lulu-xw7fi 11 месяцев назад

I camped at that Beaver Pond on July 28, 2021. Beautiful spot.

Rock glaciers. Freezing and thawing causes the rocks to slowly creep downhill. You can find them in the Appalahians, too, though they no longer move but did move when the Appalachians were tundra during ice ages.

@gretat1087 11 месяцев назад

Those were some excellent music montages. 😂

@ihikefar 11 месяцев назад

Watching these videos makes me think carrying a monocular would be fun on this trail.

@dabaird12 11 месяцев назад

Maybe a short gear review of your items used on the trail 😊

@deniseflygirl 11 месяцев назад

Does Taco leave you guys little burritos? Very pretty horse.

@sandragoodson1892 11 месяцев назад

Who'da thunk a horse would be part of your "tramily"? lol Cowboy Joel and Taco seemed to lift your spirits. This looks like a tough trail. Beautiful though.

@Jan.harvey 11 месяцев назад

Are you using your own music?

@EvansBackpackingVideos 11 месяцев назад

Yes

@Candis_Adventures 11 месяцев назад

Can I ask why you don’t use something like the Gaia app for navigation? So many map layers available on it and nice features.

@EvansBackpackingVideos 11 месяцев назад

Yes, I said I had the national geographic map. I am using Gaia for that. I had to download maps. Keep in mind that I don’t usually have service.

@Candis_Adventures 11 месяцев назад

@@EvansBackpackingVideos I like Gaia. Doesn’t drain my phone battery and handy when u download ahead of time. Love the videos!

You didn't summit San Louis? I did in 2021. No sheep for you. Sad, I saw thousands of them when I went through there. You are approaching the San Juans! My favorite part of the trail!!! 🤠🦵
