BPX Trip – 3-Day: Colorado Trail - Segments 4 & 5 from the Rolling Creek TH

Learn about the CMC's Backpacking Section (BPX) and become a member here. 

Meetup directions will be emailed to participants prior to the trip.

Anticipate an early start Saturday morning, and returning on Monday evening. 

This route requires a shuttle, with cars parked at both ends. Carpooling, driving, and meetups will be planned with this in mind; you won't be able to meet us at the trailhead on your own. 

Join me on a training trip in June! This 3 day shuttle backpacking trip will see some long days and a gorgeous section of the Colorado Trail right as the snow finishes melting and the world turns green and wonderful. We won't be hiking fast, this trip is more about training for distance with a full pack, but we also want to maintain a steady pace to make time. You should get some good spring hiking in before this trip. 

Be prepared for:

• Rain
• Stream crossings
• 9-13 mile days
• Cool weather
• Potential mud and lingering snow
