More than half way there. 253 miles in from Denver, and the prettiest part of the trail is yet to come. So many things on this hike have been a challenge. From the physical, lately I feel weak, its hard to put miles down, and today I feel like I'm coming down with something. To the mental, overwhelming thoughts have flooded my brain as I began and end this journey alone. With all the obstacles ahead and behind me, In the end I'm glad I have chosen to pursue another long-distance hike, setting that goal, and hopefully two weeks from now succeeding. Today I am in Salida, a small town of about 5,000 or so in south central Colorado. Great Trail Angels, Kevin and Megan, From the Appalachian Trail and Pacific Crest Trail, have put me up for the night and I'm so thankful of the hospitality. Tomorrow I head out to take on the San Juan Mountain Range. No resupply for 100 miles from here. The next half of this trip will be tough, but some of the most rewarding views and terrain are up ahead. Hopefully more updates will come as I finish out my Journey through the incredible Colorado Rockies.
