Durango to Silverton - Part 1

August 12th, 2021 is the day I've been planning and waiting for since I stepped off the Arizona Trail in November of 2020. I thought about which trail I was going to attempt after hiking the AZT and I decided on the Colorado Trail. After tons of planning and counting down the days the hike is finally starting.
I spent two full days in Durango and hoped it might help me acclimate a little bit for the extreme elevations I'm about to head into.
my friend Steve aka, The "Bionic Man" is also joining me on this crazy Northbound attempt of the Colorado Trail!!! Let's Go!!!!
