Colorado Trail Day 2: Settling In 2026

After a nearly 20-mile first day, the Colorado Trail starts to feel real. In Day 2 of our Colorado Trail thru-hike, my son and I climb through the burn scar, tackle the heat, meet incredible trail angels, and begin settling into the rhythm of life on trail. The excitement of Day 1 gives way to sore legs, tired shoulders, and the reality of thru-hiking—but also the simple moments that make every mile worth it. Join us as we continue our Colorado Trail adventure, one day at a time. 📍 Follow our entire Colorado Trail journey from Day 1 to the final episode in the playlist below.    • Colorado Trail Vlogs (2026)   #ColoradoTrail #Backpacking #ThruHiking ---------------------------------------------------------- P.S.
