The Colorado Trail is maintained yearly by hundreds of dedicated volunteers. You too can volunteer your time and sign up for one of The Colorado Trail Foundations Trail Crews.
Water Filter
Should I bring a water filter or other forms of water purification? Sure, while you are hiking there might be opportunities to fill your water bottles. However, we can not guarantee that the streams will be running every year. So, please be prepared and carry enough water with you.
Water
You should carry at least 2 one-liter water bottles. A Camel Back is a great way to stay hydrated. These innovated products allow you sip water while you hike eliminating you from having to stop and pull out a water bottle from your backpack.
