2001 Volunteer Vacation Photos
of the Colorado Trail reroute project
The Colorado Trail, now over 25 years old,
stretches from Denver to Durango with over 500 miles of trail through seven
national forests, six wilderness areas, and across eight mountain ranges,
traveling through ecosystems from Plains to Alpine. Its altitude reaches
13,334 feet above sea level, and much is above 10,000 feet, though most
of The Trail has grades of 10% or less. Numerous 14ers are accessible from
The Trail. Camping is allowed on public land. The Trail is open to hikers,
backpackers, equestrians, runners, llama trekkers, and except in wilderness
areas, mountain bikers.
Here is our dedicated and hardworking volunteer
trail crew:
-
Standing: (l to r) Rich R., Glenn,
Dave, Anne, Matt, Tony, Rich K., Jim, Gene, Andy, Rob, Nate, Ken,
Ray, and Rusty
Seated: Sherry, Sandy, Jan, Becky,
Michelle, Jessi, and Nancy
Convivial evening gatherings around
the campfire lasted 3 or more hours every evening as many talked, shared
stories and jokes, sang songs, and listened to music from CDs by a plethora
of artists and spanning many decades. Horseshoes (seen in the background)
and card games in the community tent also passed the evening hours. (Photo
