2026 Reservations Open!

Each summer, the Colorado Trail Foundation offers week-long supported treks on the CT.

CTF trips may be the most enjoyable way to experience The Colorado Trail. Participants hike for four to five days with just their daypacks and are treated to some of the most spectacular scenery in Colorado. Meals and professional guides are provided, and all of your camp gear is transported for you from camp to camp.

Trips are run by CTF seasonal guides and employees. Equipment, shuttle, logistics, and food are provided by Colorado Mountain Expeditions. Although easier than backpacking with all your equipment, the trips are still rigorous with hiking days averaging around 15 miles. You can bring your own camping gear or make arrangements to rent equipment.
