Walk Trail!

The Colorado Trail runs nearly 500 miles through the heart of the Rocky Mountains from Denver to Durango. It’s among one of the most consistently high-altitude hiking trails anywhere with an average elevation above sea level exceeding 10,000 feet (3,000 m). It runs through a multitude of climates and landscapes from searing sun-baked landscapes to snow-covered mountains where temperatures plunge well below freezing.

And for this hike, there’s a treat—I carried some upgraded camera equipment! The Canon EOS Rebel T6 is heavy, bulky and a pain-in-the-you-know-what to carry (along with it’s 300mm zoom lens), but I carried it every step of the way this time around to get some amazing shots that my regular point-and-shoot camera couldn’t do. You’ll find long-exposure photos of flowing creeks and shots of the stars and the Milky Way that I could never get before. With the zoom lens, I could get close-up photos of animals, insects and birds that I had never been able to get before. It’s a trail like no other on Walking 4 Fun!
