Collegiate West is the most challenging section of the Colorado Trail? The 90 mile, high altitude section of the CT and the Continental Divide Trail pressed Chuck and I to our limits. It was beautiful, but an ass kicker. Hope Pass, Lake Anne Pass, numerous other points were still covered in mid-July snow. Chuck and I get separated which causes some worries.

Great video! It was fun meeting you guys up at the CW/CE junction. Thanks for cheering me up those last 100 feet, that was a crazy steep spot! Hike on! Lin aka Elderberry

@MidwestBackpacker 11 месяцев назад

Hi! Crazy how steep that part was. Some guys pushing mountain bikes up behind you were really struggling. Good luck with finishing the trail!

@Dante07cid 11 месяцев назад

Just awesome. That’s all I can say. Wish I were there with you 🏔🏕

Great content! Thank you!

@EvanAnder-bg5se 11 месяцев назад

Very cool. I've always wanted to get out to Colorado and hike the trails there. You've got to do Isle Royale National Park sometime. I'm going there this August for 60 miles in 7 days.

@SkitterComic 11 месяцев назад

“Snow wedgie”? With those shorts, I would have assumed you’d get a snow ENEMA sliding down that mountain.

@MidwestBackpacker 11 месяцев назад

A mid hike cleanse is always nice.

@kmcgoeshiking27 11 месяцев назад

Another great video and adventure. Good to see you out on the trail. Beautiful scenery. Thank you for sharing!

@MidwestBackpacker 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching!

@AndrewHikesBergs 11 месяцев назад

You’ve really got me excited for my upcoming Colorado Trail hike beginning in a few weeks! I’ll be going through the CW in early September. Looking forward to part 2!

@mtadams2009 6 месяцев назад

I plan on hiking in September how was the weather? I hope your trip went well.

@AndrewHikesBergs 6 месяцев назад

@@mtadams2009 September was an excellent time of year on the CT. I started in Waterton Canyon on Sept. 2 and finished around Salida on Sept. 22 (completing 75% of Collegiate Peaks loop). Zero'd one day at Twin Lakes to avoid a snowstorm. Plan for a mix of warm, cold, rain, snow, and mostly fantastic weather. Can't wait to finish the CT this September!

@mtadams2009 6 месяцев назад

@@AndrewHikesBergs Thanks for the information. Sounds like you had a great time. That is about the time I want to go. Avoiding the bugs and T storms possibly. Enjoy the rest of your hike. Take care

@rungavagairun 11 месяцев назад

Nice.

@richardsigman3776 11 месяцев назад

My goodness, you guys picked an epic trail to walk! Was this trail more challenging than the other one? How would you rate this hike in a 1 to 10? I was gasping along with you. Your traveling companion and you didn’t get to hike together much, though. Beautiful views!! Thank you so much for recording this trip and taking us along. Looking forward to the next video! Joy S from Northern Indiana

@MidwestBackpacker 11 месяцев назад

The CT is always a 10. More challenging that what other one? It was a butt kicker.

@TheNypenfan 11 месяцев назад

Do you bring micro spikes for these trips? I’ve never hiked something with snow like that in July and I’m curious what the snow is like.

@thegregescape 6 месяцев назад

On day one, did you hike 14 total miles (with the back tracking) or to trail mile 14 (so 18 miles)?

@LousyFIBs 11 месяцев назад

The Mule was awakened by The Moose. So what does “sleeping late” mean for The Mule? How late does he sleep? When camping, the daylight and animal noises always wake me up early. I can’t sleep late.

@MidwestBackpacker 11 месяцев назад

He was hiking around 9am.
