Bikepacking The Colorado Trail: Silverton to Durango via segments 25, 26, 27, and 28

Bikepacking the colorado trail has long been on my bucket list. In this episode, we head out to experience it for ourselves. We started in Silverton, Colorado for a bikepacking adventure where we rode sections 25-28 of the colorado trail. What a trail! This is the real deal, with lots of technical sections, elevation, and many challenges along the way. I can't wait to go back someday. Do you need help choosing your next bike?
