Package Deal : Collegiate Loop Map Book and CT Guidebook

Current 2021 edition, covers the entire 160-mile loop, the CT Collegiate West and CT Collegiate East, including all reroutes opened.

The CT offers two alternative routes in Colorado's Sawatch Range, looping around the Collegiate Peaks. The 82-mile "Collegiate West" forms a western complement to the other alternative, the 78-mile "Collegiate East" route on the eastern side of the Collegiate Peaks. The 160-mile Collegiate Loop stretches from Twin Lakes, southwest of Leadville, to south of Monarch Pass, southwest of Salida. It is popular for multi-day, hiking or horse riding trips. (Much of the Collegiate West is not open to cyclists.)

Loop travelers can park at one of several access points along the east or west route and avoid shuttling vehicles.  There are also good resupply spots – Twin Lakes, Buena Vista, Mount Princeton Hot Springs, Monarch Pass, and Salida – along the route.

This map book covers the entire 160-mile loop, the CT Collegiate West and CT Collegiate East, including all reroutes opened.
