Package Deal: Colorado Trail Guidebook and Databook Bundle

This is the most up-to-date, official CT Guidebook.

This book covers the entire Colorado Trail, all 567 miles between Denver and Durango, including Segments 1-28 plus CW01-CW05. This is the first edition Guidebook that covers the 80-mile CT Collegiate West that was added to The Colorado Trail in 2012. This comprehensive book helps you plan your CT excursions, can guide you on the trail, and is particularly well-suited to have either in an automobile or at home. It is your official resource for hiking, backpacking, horseback riding and bicycling The Colorado Trail.

Maps in this guidebook show the roads pertinent to the Trail. Travel directions are also provided for each major trail access point. This road coverage is almost essential for the automobile portions of many excursions, including the car trips done by segment travelers as well as the driving done by support people who rendezvous with trail travelers.

The digital version of this guide, the official app of the Colorado Trail Foundation, is available from Far Out.

(The next edition will be printed February 2024)

The most up-to-date, official CT Databook. It takes the place of all previous editions, containing information not covered in earlier versions.

Pocket-sized including water sources and reliability, the CT Databook is the "CliffsNotes" version of the CT Guidebook. Users like carrying it and referring to it on the Trail.

Databook 8 is lighter and thinner than the waterproof 7th Edition. The 8th Edition of the CT Databook builds on the usefulness of previous editions beginning with an end-to-end refinement of the Trail survey data, leading to mileage changes throughout the Databook. Key features have been corrected, particularly those that pertain to intersections and water sources, and the book has been revised to include all Trail reroutes. Resupply towns information has been rewritten and made current.

The Databook answers your questions, including: How far is the next water source and how reliable is it? How many miles? What elevation? Where can I resupply? Information is presented in an easy-to-understand system of key words, symbols, maps and elevation profiles for each of the Trail segments.

Many users choose to buy both the CT Databook (for the Trail) and the CT Guidebook (to plan their trip, use in the automobile, and often to leave behind with a support person).
