@coloradotrail.pages.devAfter crossing two twelve thousand foot passes, Segment 8 settles down and ends in a gradual climb through long valleys and along an old railroad grade.

@coloradotrail.pages.devThe aspen aren't as dense as they are around Kenosha Pass, but the beginning of Segment 4 is a far less crowded place to see the leaves change in the fall.
@coloradotrail.pages.devSometimes it seems like columbines are everywhere, and sometimes they seem rare, but I never expected to find them next to a rocky section of trail at over 12,000 feet, while mountain biking on Segment 26.

@coloradotrail.pages.devBighorn sheep can be found in Waterton Canyon at the beginning of Segment 1 most any time of the year, but it seems more likely in late winter and spring.

@coloradotrail.pages.devAfter over twenty miles following dry, rocky ridges that often rise above twelve thousand feet, this lake at the end of Segment 27 is a welcome sight.

@coloradotrail.pages.devThunderstorms may not have been a problem, but I was still lucky to have gotten away with hiking Segment 22 in the fall without having to trudge through a lot of snow.
@coloradotrail.pages.devConsidering that Segment 28 plunges thousands of feet from the Continental Divide to Durango, I didn't think I would ever have to pedal, but it turned out to be no easier than any other segment.

@coloradotrail.pages.devWhile the aspen on Segment 5, particularly around Kenosha Pass, are definitely worth seeing, there are plenty of other amazing views throughout the segment.

@coloradotrail.pages.devSigns of the fire decades ago start to appear in the long climb at the beginning of Segment 2, but the full, lasting devastation isn't apparent until reaching the top.

@coloradotrail.pages.devDeep inside the La Garita Wilderness, at the beginning of Segment 20, trees that were killed by beetles are slowly being replaced by new ones.
@coloradotrail.pages.devA family of Ptarmigans make a clucking sound, almost like a bark, while looking for food on 12,000 foot Chalk Creek Pass, near the end of Section 4 of the Collegiate West route.

@coloradotrail.pages.devPasque flowers start popping up out of the sand in the huge burned area in Segment 2 long before the grass turns green.

@coloradotrail.pages.devAt over thirty miles, Segment 6 is the longest, and includes dense aspen groves, wide open grasslands, high tundra, and pine forests.
