The Official Guidebook and Databook of The Colorado Trail Foundation

Covering the entire Trail, it is becoming the go-to guide for tech-savvy Trail users.

These waterproof, tear-resistant maps can be used alone or in tandem with other Trail guides.
Segments of the CT
We have small maps and detailed trail segment information, including length and elevation gain, for all 33 segments that make up the entire 567 miles of the CT.
Trail Alerts & Conditions
Obstructions, reroutes and planned closures are mapped on the Trail Alert page. And although the CTF does not track current trail conditions, we do provide a list of resources to find good information.
