Welcome to The Colorado Hiker!
Josh and Liz's first trip together was to Caribou Lake, located in the Indian Peaks Wilderness. Plans were made to hike the Colorado Trail the following summer (in 2003). However, the pair first embarked on a week-long adventure in Grand Teton National Park. After surviving close encounters with a moose and a grizzly, Josh and Liz knew they would be able to tackle the 470-mile-long Colorado Trail. The rest is history, and here is a glimpse at what they have been up to since...

"May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. May your rivers flow without end, meandering through pastoral valleys tinkling with bells, past temples and castles and poets' towers into a dark primeval forest where tigers belch and monkeys howl, through miasmal and mysterious swamps and down into a desert of red rock, blue mesas, domes and pinnacles and grottos of endless stone, and down again into a deep vast ancient unknown chasm where bars of sunlight blaze on profiled cliffs, where deer walk across the white sand beaches, where storms come and go as lightning clangs upon the high crags, where something strange and more beautiful and more full of wonder than your deepest dreams waits for you beyond the next turning of the canyon walls." —Edward Abbey |
