Hike The 485 Mile Colorado Trail

The most detailed maps available for the Colorado Trail!

The Colorado Trail is well-traveled and well-maintained by volunteers, making it a pleasure to hike. The route is not always well-marked though, which can make it a challenge to navigate.

The 485 mile route runs from Denver to Durango across the Rocky Mountains of central Colorado, intersecting (and sometimes sharing a route with with) jeep roads and other trails and crossing snow fields, creeks and other obstacles.

Colorado Trail Atlas Topographic Maps show the entire route of the 485 mile Colorado Trail from Denver to Durango, complete with hundreds of annotations identifying the locations of important landmarks and milestones (such as water sources, campsites and road/trail junctions) to help you gauge your progress and avoid getting lost.

Elevation Profiles

Prepare for big climb and descents on the Colorado Trail

Colorado Trail Atlas Elevation Profiles show where the trail climbs and descends in an easy-to-read graph, so you will know when to expect steep climbs, long descents or moderate grades, to help you better plan your hike.

Data Tables

Track how many miles you’ve hiked on the Colorado Trail

Once you get on the Colorado Trail you will often wonder how many miles you have hiked. Since there are few trail signs, a data book will help you track your progress.
