Why it works

The southern Colorado Trail section through the San Juan Mountains is the most remote and spectacular portion of the entire trail, with the Weminuche Wilderness requiring multi-day commitments and the La Garita Wilderness offering some of the most isolated terrain on the CT. The elevation profiles and water source detail go beyond what standard topographic maps provide for planning this demanding section. Waterproof construction survives the San Juan Mountains' afternoon thunderstorms.

Ideal for

Colorado Trail thru-hikers, section hikers, and backpackers navigating the southern CT through the San Juan Mountains to Durango. See also NGTI1202 (Colorado Trail North) for the northern section.
