The completely revised 7th edition includes text and map revisions for several sections where reroutes of the trail have taken place, as well as 90 colour pictures, 28 segment maps, elevation profiles, integrated GPS waypoints, town maps and mountain bike detours of Wilderness Areas.The Colorado Trail (CT) is one of the premier scenic long trails in North America. It winds its way through endless fields of wildflowers to windy mountain passes, from wild mountain rivers and streams to winding trails through old growth forests. The CT crosses eight mountain ranges, seven National Forests, six Wilderness Areas and five river systems. Starting near Denver at 5,500 feet and ending near Durango at 7,000 feet, the CT gains and loses almost 76,000 feet in elevation over 468 miles. New to this edition are revisions of four of the 28-segment trail descriptions including sections 8, 11, 23 and 24.
