I Hiked the Colorado Trail for my 60th Bday Days 6-10

Days 6–10 on the Colorado Trail brought bigger miles, higher elevations, and a whole new rhythm as I continued southbound on my own. After my hiking partners left the trail early, I was starting to settle into solo thru-hiking life—learning what pace worked for me, managing food and water, and figuring things out one day at a time. In this episode, I make my way through some incredible Colorado scenery, stop in Breckenridge, continue toward Leadville and Twin Lakes, and start feeling like I’m finally getting into the groove of the trail. I started the Colorado Trail shortly after turning 60, with the goal of hiking roughly 500 miles from Denver to Durango. This is Part 2 of that journey. Thanks for following along!
