In the state of Colorado you have many trails to choose from.
Things you want to consider:
- Choosing your Wilderness Area
- Buying a Topo Map (Yes, I am old school I use a map and compass and don’t rely on GPS alone)
- Water Sources
- Weather Patterns
- Areas to Camp – Is their flat dry areas
- Elevation Gain and Loss
- Type of trail (there and back, Loop..)
- Pet Friendly (if you are bringing a dog), not all trails allow pets
