How long is Colorado Trail?
Colorado Trail is mapped at 768 km (477 miles) in the TrailsPals route library. The line is stored at the library maximum of 3,000 points, simplified from the OpenStreetMap relation. Mapped length counts every section in the relation, including alternatives and connectors, so a specific end-to-end trip can measure less.
Where does Colorado Trail go?
The mapped line lies in the United States, between 37.33°N and 39.55°N and between 108.04°W and 105.09°W. That bounding area measures roughly 256 km east to west and 247 km north to south. It describes how far the mapping reaches, not the distance you would travel.
Is Colorado Trail open right now?
This page cannot tell you. TrailsPals shows condition reports left by other travellers on the map, and those are unverified: nothing here establishes that a hiking trail is open, legal or safe to use. Check the land manager or route authority close to departure.
Can you follow Colorado Trail in TrailsPals?
Yes. Loading Colorado Trail in the iPhone app gives you the line to follow, an off-route nudge, condition reports from other travellers, and a watch link someone at home can open without installing anything. Live updates need a data connection, and TrailsPals does not contact emergency services.

Before you go
Plan the trip before you follow the line: tell someone where you are going and when you expect to be back with a check-in plan, and share a live location link so they can see your progress without installing anything. Read how accurate phone GPS is on a trail and what to do if you lose the route. For shorter walks, browse the city trail guides.
