We are at our last town in Colorado! It looks like we have 50 sum miles to the Wyoming state line.
Colorado has been amazing. A real beast however to hike through. Huge climbs day after day for almost 7 weeks. A bit exhausting.
We are looking forward to leaving the mountains for awhile as we approach the Great Basin of Wyoming. A bit of a break from the strenuous high rockies of Colorado. This is a section were we can make bigger miles like 35-40 a day and make some headway with time hopefully. Still a real challenge in other respects though. Extreme heat with no shade coverage, potential high winds and lack of water sources. And miles of flat endless dirt roads. A real treat like a hidden gem!
We are really starting to feel the time crunch for finishing the trail at the Canadian boarder by late September.
It becomes a bit daunting at this point when we haven't quite reached the half way point either. July 27 will be 3 months already and we have only 2 months to finish.
