The Grindstone Trail Marker - Panorama created from five photos using Autostitch
Sarah and I have uploaded our Landscape and Wildlife photos from our Colorado Trail trek. We made this trek with a group from Colorado Mountain Expeditions out of Durango. The hike was about 75 miles over 5 days, from Molas Pass down into Durango. Our days went like this: Day 1 ~3,000 ft gain and 20 miles, Day 2 1,500 ft gain and 11 miles, Day 3 “Rest Day” only 6 miles, Day 4 ~3,500 ft gain and 18 miles, Day 5 4,000 ft drop and 18 miles.
The trek was awesome, with all kinds of terrain, great food, all kinds of wildlife, and ALL kinds of weather. Sarah and I were pleasantly surprised that everyone in our group of 14 was really nice, came from interesting backgrounds with great stories, and liked and respected each other and the outdoors.
