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 6 in the series in which I hike most of the Collegiate West route. It includes most of Collegiate West Segments 1 (Twin Lakes to Sheep Gulch), Collegiate West Segment 2 (Sheep Gulch to Cottonwood Pass Trailhead), Collegiate West Segment 3 (Cottonwood Pass Trailhead to Tincup Pass Road), Collegiate West Segment 4 (Tincup Pass Road to Boss Lake Trailhead), and most of Collegiate West Segment 5 (Boss Lake Trailhead to Ridge Above South Fooses Creek).
Total trip days in this video: Day 16 to Day 19.
The video also includes Hope Pass, Lake Ann Pass, Carson Saddle, Chalk Pass, Tunnel Lake, Cottonwood Pass, Collegiate Peaks Wilderness, Prospector Gulch, Boss Lake, Monarch Pass, Salida CO, and Old Monarch Pass.
Liz is making videos too. At RU-vid: “Liz Kidder”

Evan, you're a treasure. There are a lot of RU-vid backpackers who chase clicks (not that there's anything particularly wrong with that, it's just a strategy) but you've somehow kept your voice and motivations intact and focused on your enjoyment of the journey. I love your videos because of how earnest and genuine you are, and the wealth of knowledge that you share.

Happy Birthday Young Man! I hit 65 in a few short weeks and am planning a week long trip in the Shanendoahs in October. I've followed you and LIz both since your AT adventure. Its good to see you both back on a trail.

Happy Birthday Evan! Touching words on missing your wife, especially as you hit 60. Andrea will be happy to have you home as will the rest of your family. Happy Birthday Evan and we your viewers have every confidence that you and Liz have this hike in the bag. Stay safe and God Bless! Thanks for sharing the great videos!

Still watching. Knew you both would keep going and live through the weather and mozzies. Long days, but you'll always miss it when you're back in the 'real' world. Unpopular opinion: as hard as it is sometimes, the woods seems to be the only place some people feel both alive and free. 🤟

I appreciate that you have studied and researched the Colorado Trail and know the names of the passes, lakes, trailheads and know the mountain ranges that you are walking through. Regarding crossing high passes in the afternoon-not all clouds indicate lightning. But, I do remember Homemade Wanderlust hiking the CDT and being in completely exposed areas with lightning all around. Great message to us older hikers! I was astounded that I completed the CT with all my foot problems and intolerance of heat, and yet, I didn't ever really doubt that I could do it. And happy birthday!

You are amazing. This video was magnificent. And I can't believe you're older than I. Was sure you were you younger... Your sweet words for your wife made my eyes leak. Thank you so much for all you share with us. I have learned so much.
