    VIDEO: Colorado Trail - Collegiate East

    Fall Colors, Sunrises and Sunsets in the Rocky Mountains. Yep, it was as great as it sounds. Two friends and I hiked 75 miles from Twin Lakes to Mount Shavano. We spent 5 nights hanging and walked for 6 days. We struggled to acclimate to altitude, but we finished strong by climbing over 14,000 ft. Its a long video, but stick around to the end to see the top of Mount Shavano. We also had a hammock rip at bed time and we were forced to bushcraft a bed on the ground.

    Excellent video. Beautiful area, good friends, and decent weather in an amazing part of the country what more could you ask for. It's a good thing the hammock didn't fail earlier. Thanks for the link for the water bottle holders and thanks for sharing your trip with us.

    Thanks. I like the beard. Your little monkey bit in your recent video is the funniest thing in one of your videos in years. LOL :-)
