Summary

Scott Hughes recently completed a thru-hike of the Colorado Trail, and joins the show to talk all about it. We cover all the essential information that someone contemplating thru-hiking the Colorado Trail needs to know, including resupply, weather, camping, and much more. Also, you can apparently thru-BIKE this trail as well as thru-hike it. You read that correctly. How sick is that! This was Scott's second episode of Trail Tales, as we did an episode way back in November of 2018 about his thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. I am grateful that he was willing to come back on, and share all about his experience thru-hiking the Colorado Trail!

1:24.8	trail and at the end of our conversation, Scott shares a story,
1:30.6	actually a couple stories about mountain lines that he encountered on this trail, which kind of
1:36.5	blew my mind. I am not used to seeing mountain lines. I've never really hiked out west or not
