Ultralight Backpacker, Author of Colorado Trail Atlas
Dear fellow hiker,
Are you planning to hike the Colorado Trail? If so, you are going to need a good Colorado Trail map pack and guide book.
Colorado Trail Pocket Atlas weighs an ultralight 3.5 ounces and fits in your pocket. But don’t let the small size fool you. It includes more useful trail information in an easier to use format than most other guide books and maps combined.
Open it up and you will find everything you need to plan your hike and successfully navigate the 485 mile Colorado Trail, including: Topographic Maps, Data Book, Elevation Profiles, Resupply Guide, Town Maps and more…
PLUS, you get Downloadable GPS Waypoints, a Colorado Trail Wall Map and other useful bonus resources and information to help you plan your hike and get the most enjoyment out of your Colorado Trail adventure!
Colorado Trail Atlas Features:
Colorado Trail Pocket Atlas includes these essential planning and navigation tools based on trail research and GPS data collected during my 2010 thru-hike of the Colorado Trail:
Colorado Trail Map Pack
Colorado Trail Map Pack includes sixty full-color topographic maps showing the entire 485 mile route of the Colorado Trail from Denver to Durango.
Over 600 Map Annotations mark the locations of important trail landmarks and milestones such as: water sources, campsites and road/trail junctions.
1:63,360 Scale Maps (1 inch = 1 mile) provide the best combination of close-up route detail and coverage of the surrounding area.
3D Hill-shaded Maps show the hills and valleys in sharp relief, unlike traditional “flat” contour maps which can be difficult to read.
UTM Grid Overlays let you use your Colorado Trail Atlas with a GPS Recever to quickly find your location on the trail.

Colorado Trail Data Book
Colorado Trail Data Book lists hundreds of Colorado Trail landmarks and milestones in an easy-to-read “quick reference” table.
Cumulative Mileage for Eastbound and Westbound Hikers tells you how many miles you’ve hiked on the Colorado Trail.
Elevation Tables list elevations for important trail landmarks and milestones so you will know when to expect steep climbs on this high altitude trail.
Distances Between Points are pre-calculated, making it easy to judge distances between water sources, campsites and other destinations.
Trail Features (water sources, campsites, side trails, scenic views and picnic areas) are also listed in the data tables.

Colorado Trail Elevation Profiles
Colorado Trail Elevation Profiles show all of the peaks and valleys on the route of the Colorado Trail in an easy-to-read profile graph.
Visual Elevation Graphs are easier to read than numeric elevation tables because you see the elevation changes instead of reading them.
Profile Annotations mark the locations of important trail landmarks and milestones on the elevation profile (just like on the maps).
Distances Between Points are pre-calculated, making it easy to judge distances between peaks, valleys and other elevation features.

Post Offices where you can send “General Delivery” packages are listed in the resupply guide with their zip codes.
