A co-worker gave a slide show yesterday of her 50-day hike along the Colorado Trail. It was part of our “Wellness” benefit. It was an inspiring slide show.

Lucy basically walked 10 miles a day and arranged for her support team to meet her on weekends to replenish supplies. Sometimes, some of the support folks would join her on the trail for a week and then head back with the following support team.

The trail covers a lot of territory between Denver and Durango. From the pictures, and from what I’ve seen of the land, it is beautiful scenery. It passes through a number of National Forests and Wilderness Areas as well.

I am so inspired that I may try hiking the Santa Fe trail. But I think I’d rather bike it.

But, it does remind me that Elaine and I need to get out next summer and spend some time camping in the mountains, to get rid of the rust and dust on our camping gear so we will be ready to use it when needed.
