Earlier this month I backpacked the 161 mile Collegiate Loop which follows the Colorado Trail from Twin Lakes to just south of Monarch Pass then follows the CDT/Collegiate West back to Twin Lakes. I actually did the opposite direction. Despite excessive rain I had a good trip. If you don't have time for the full , this is a good alternative with plenty of time in alpine terrain. I have the full trip report and details with lots of photos at the link....(I don't make money from this, I just like to share my reports)
