South bound seems the preferred direction for hiking the Colorado Trail. But once it joins the Continental Divide Trail at Georgia Pass, the north bound traffic greatly increases. Wherever the trail goes near a convenient access point, many hikers join. But in between, one can see that there are not too many through hikers, maybe 20-40 a day.
It took me 6 days to cover the 104 miles Denver to Breckenridge. It starts at the relative low altitude of about 6000ft and tops at 11875 over the pass. Along the way the mountains are mostly forested and green. It rained every day in the beginning, but there was enough time to dry up.
380 miles to go.
